The question on everybody's lips...

Ye after 12 months we got the water main diversion complete. So it's full steam a head on the second build. Although the weather is against us. It seems to have p*****d down for weeks.
We have been building a garage/workshop at balfarg. I'm pretty jealous of it and it's made me long for a decent workshop space. It's 7m by 12m with the roof carrying on another 6/7m or so to form a carport. The roof is done with attic trusses so there's loads of space upstairs. I'll need to post some pictures.

Yep weather has been p#% poor here.
Makes me glad to be 95% indoor work [tongue]
I'm also thinking about new workshop space. Part of me thinks I could rent something local here but feel I'd be "building someone else's dreams and not my own"!...I think it's time to explore building something here at home. The planning etc may be a long route but at least I'll be building my own dreams.
We have an old farm that was split into lots in the 60's. We have the original farmhouse in 4 acres with another 4 acre paddock adjoining. We will struggle to get planning for dwellings but I think I'll future plan for something commercial / agricultural use which should be easier. Think this will be part of the 10 year plan. Currently school fees come first!

Day 3 update.
Door looking great. No sign of movement and a check of datum marks show no sign of variance.
