Strange Things Have Popped Up

We popped up to Fossils Retreat again on Saturday 28 November. Disappointedly and true to the forecast, it was pissing down. We got very wet indeed traipsing in and out of the garage finding things that were OK to get wet on the back of the ute, and tying down with our wonderfully complicatedly joined neverending bungee cords. The weather was equally miserable over there. It appears out septic system is in. There are little groups of capped pipes away yonder out there, and also, a few puzzling newer ones closer to home ...

I guess we'll have to find the funds to build a little porch at the front door pretty soon, as the down pipes from the guttering will apparently connect to here and go into the water tank. If not the whole porch, bare framework so we can have a vertical post to connect the downpipe to.

We didn't hang around too long. Jacob has managed to frame up the new roof addition and exterior before the weather closed in.

As you can see, pretty sodden. The piles of scrap wood and rubbish are getting bigger. We'll have plenty of kindling for a few years. Jacob is reusing every possible bit he can
