The planning how to cut the notches in the pole tops took a little while, we tried the drop saw, it was very slow. We bought a reciprocating saw with a 300mm blade, Darren made a jig that looked like it came from a medieval torture dungeon, it worked a treat. The two internal cuts were started with a circular saw and finished with a multi tool, very neat!
We hired a mini excavator with a power head and 600mm auger attachment for the weekend, it worked a treat to strap the waste and storm water pipes to for the trip home .. wasn't overhanging the car or trailer if you don't look between the vehicles!
As soon as we get to the farm it's unload and start playing. The moon was full (we'd watched it and the incredible sunset all the way home) which gave plenty of light, headed home to sleep after 4 holes dug.
So the weekend has been a wonderful success, all holes dug, waste plumbing and storm dug, laid and covered, the drain for Agi pipe is dug (waiting on pipe), the drive ways are excavated and gravel coated.
The weather has been stunning, even a bobtail managed a cruise through the site.
The timber was delivered today, the truck driver had coffee with us and during the chat about the house build he asked 'When do they start?' in regard to the builders!! Hahahaha Tag we're it!!!!
