  2. Cutting corners.

    Laid the skirt over the muddy bit, which is now walkable 😆

    Then dug out the huge area for the extended corner skirt. Last time I did this first and that was a mistake because the huge hole was very much in the way, so this time I did everything else first, then dug the corner. Experience!

    Hoping to fill the trench back in today. The corner skirting goes slow as there's a lot of cutting and two-way grading.

    Some black crud goes over the joints where I've trimmed the glue. Where its not trimmed it has a waterproof skin.

    Also had to carefully dig out the adjoining piece from the previous section. I had a board there to protect it but that didn't work too well.

  7. Trust me they were very happy on this wet walk - they look a bit bewildered at being asked to sit down while i checked the water tank (quite full of silt ‘cos of the rain this summer) #dogsofmastodon #homestead #flatcoatretriever #spaniel

  12. Waited half a day for the mud to dry out a little and then squished around in it to drill a bunch more holes into the rocks, installed rebar, an end piece so the concrete doesn't run out and then the vertical part of the insulation, which are always a bit tricky to align.

    In this section there were a lot of protruding rocks to be insulated around.

    Then the extended footing on the bottom and the sun went down again.

    Horizontal part tomorrow, I hope!

  17. Since that's no good, I've been doing some other jobs this morning and hoping for it to dry a bit.

    Under the old harrow I hauled away were several small Linden saplings. I dug them up and replanted them by the forest edge near the spring. Planting trees brightens the mood.

    Then hauled some more junk up from the valley shack, including parts of this tiny hut that fell down. I found a message, someone had written "pasaku namelis" (little fairy house) on the inside above the door. Curious. Always wondered what that thing was for. Fairies, apparently. They seem to have moved out a while ago.
