Progress on the kit home: I shot up to the land of plenty with Bret and got most of the deck done in three days. The character of the house is starting to emerge. It is slowly starting to dawn on me that after all this building is done I will have an actual house here. Here is Bret as we near 3/4 of the deck down and dusted. Looks bonza I reckon. There's a man who's earned some beers on the deck in the Land Of Plenty. Pretty hard to get started on a job like this with one row (or less) of decking 2 1/2 meters off the ground, but it would've been an absolute horror show doing it alone. I'm right on track for the rest of the house to be delivered and that will be a milestone! Had the compost dunny(toilet) delivered a couple o days ago. Once that dunny is in I'm calling it a house. Pretty hot in the Land Of Plenty, which makes decking thirsty work, but the solar system will lap it up. Of course we could also burn fallen timber in a steam engine for power: Check out this post from factorefarm about modern, open source steam: http://openfarmtech.org/weblog/2010/09/cyclone-technologies/
Wandoo View. Good venue for a summer get together I reckon. With the addition of a railing. And a house.
