101mm of rain in just 3 days…. and counting. Here are some pictures.

The rain and lightning out here is awesome…. magnified by the big open sky! Another 15mm of rain today

We had 20mm of rain today, not as much as some, which equates to about 6,000 litres of water collected. I cleaned to gutters yesterday so we were all good to go but there are still issues with the original set up here that I’m really looking forward to resolving before the rain really kicks in!

The sheep go crazy for sheep cubes!!

So we decided the best spot for our new 200000 Lt water tank is where the old veggie garden was so we have spent the weekend removing the old veggie garden but kept all the stuff so we can redo it somewhere else. The veggie garden consisted of 5 large beds surrounded with corrugated iron and star pickets. This was then surrounded by numerous copper log vertical poles and steel cross poles for shade and netting. There were also 6 large wire gates being used as trellises for tomatoes and beans. The whole area was then surrounded by wire fencing and panels. Now we need to prep the site for the new tank. 😊

The sheep come to say hello in the morning until Tim enticed the around the corner with some treats. Bach wasn’t too sure and thought he might get a better deal if he stayed but eventually the curiosity got the better of him

Removing old wire fence thats been sitting on the ground for years. Driving the tractor is a serious business!!!

We have removed the wardrobe from our room, making it feel much bigger, and put the internals into what will be our dressing room!

Part of the preparation for getting ready for the winter rain is to sort out some of these water tanks. The first one has been emptied into another and has been moved out. Next step will be to get the new site ready and then move it to a better spot.

We changed the taps to upgrade the bathroom for now… full reno down the track a bit!
