Today's Progress

Following yesterday's brief respite from the weather, we were blessed with a fine day today and we took full advantage of both of these days to complete the initial work on putting in the concrete piers for the cabin. The finished base is seen below.
The floor joists, supporting the cabin will simply "sit" on the concrete piers shown.

Like many of you, we have taken to keeping our Alpacas in the barn until the sodden paddocks drain away and whilst I am sure they appreciate the shelter, they would rather be out grazing! It will be a while before we are able to build permenant pens but in the meantime, we have been using Alpaca hurdles and I have to say that they are absolutely brilliant. We purchased these as a pack of 12 last year and they have been worth their weight in gold!

Only a short blog tonight but following many very early mornings this week, I will be hitting the "sack" very soon.

    Still raining over here in Holland. Don't send it over here... Ha, ha... Sunday we expect 12 hours of rain. So after a lot of snow still no spring in Holland.
    Large building? New house? Didn't read everything on your blog.
    Lot of work. Wish you the best.
    Many greetings, Leo

    No Leo. It is a temporary dwelling in the form of a Canadian Log Cabin. Best regards
