Love, bubs and life on our little farm

It hasn't been easy to finish off our house extension considering it basically did not stop raining since our builders hand over in Mid-November. Hence why I still have so much exterior painting, timber staining and concrete painting yet to go. We also have the little matter of a whole lot of driveway landscaping and some post and rail fencing to go in along the front of the deck for the horses (who are loving the temporary fencing to lean through to get the green grass on the other side, of course), which will also have dog wire on it to complete the kid-proof yard fencing so they can't get to the dam etc.

But despite the bad weather, Jase did manage to whip up the first of many retaining walls/planter boxes that will break up the slope between the carport and the bottom bit of yard (where the pool will eventually go). He is getting pretty handy considering he has never lived on land before and works in an office :)

I planted in the hedge of golden canes and lugged umpteen wheelbarrows of soil down from our top level gardens in sloppy mud and rain, fun times! It was nice to sit back on the deck and enjoy the view when it was all done.

So three weeks of holidays for Jase wasn't completely wasted from a farm work perspective! (yes I am a slave driver)
