The wall is finished now I have to find time to slab a round leaf log to top it off.

I decided I needed a pit to make working under the blitz easier. Digging it in the shed the blitz lives in seamed like a good idea until I struck water now I will have to find the time to dig a drain and burry a pipe in it.

Vicki's entertainment area took a small step forward yesterday with the hanging of the clock a friend gave her for Christmas.

The boys helped me replace six stumps under the lounge room and one under the front varandah today. The job is much easier with help than by yourself as I was when I did the bedroom.

Two things go through my mind... redback spiders and brown snakes. Oh, and no quick escape.

Ian, yes, the joys of counting in nice even tens!! Not so anymore; had to dredge the memory banks to the 'premetric' era of my (very young) youth, and then adapt for some US deviations from Imperial, like those funny US Gallons!

But we deviate too much.....

A nice heated shed floor for winter and reverse cycle air con for summer would be magic in any climate!

I have been researching alternative power for quite a number of years. I went to a field day about 30 years ago and then wind sounded attractive but the cost of the tower to put the turbine on was beyond me. Next I looked into hydro it was promising but flood proofing was a problem. Until recently solar was too expensive to consider, that changed in the last couple of years, just hope it lives up to the sails pitch.

How much have you got there, Rob?

Is it Grid Connect, or Stand Alone?

Tony, it's 4.5 kwh, 18 panels, grid connected. I can't afford the batteries for stand alone. The panels and invertor will take forty months to pay off.
