We obtained our building consent last week and were expecting to meet our builder on site at lunchtime to discuss when he would be available to start. But he arrived first thing and was all ready to go and had arranged for someone to dig out the house site early tomorrow morning. Yay!
And we had a second visitor before 9am, the electricity inspector who wanted to find out if our connection had been made - this was due over a week ago, but still no progress. Hopefully he will chase them up now, especially as the builder will be starting tomorrow.
It was definitely a mowing day - this had always been planned but now it was more important as we needed to mow the house site area so the topsoil could be removed tomorrow. And so this should be the last time I was able to mow the living room or the bedroom or the garage! But it did look rather smart when it was done.
And it was the first time I mowed part of the future orchard, and what a jungle it had become. We are planning to use the topsoil that is removed from the house site for the fruit trees and the veggie patch so I had to mow both these places so they were ready for the digger tomorrow.
And as we now have a water supply, it was the last time we will need to water the trees with buckets....
and the first time we could water them by hose. Lots of yays for that!
It was also the first time we noticed one of our natives in flower - one of the akeakes. This is particularly good news as these trees had been struggling more than most a few months back.
And first prize in the growth department had to go to one of the gums on the southern boundary which is now much taller than me. And a very pretty tree it is too.
So now let the real action commence...
