Settling in

Getting comfortable in my trailer is priority number one right now. Especially as there's nothing much else for me to do until the workshop foundation is finished. So I built this deck. Eventually (soon I hope) it will have a canopy over it of translucent corrugated panels. This will replace the now wrecked roll out canopy that collapsed in the middle of the night last weekend giving Danielle and I one hell of scare!


Here are the two big concrete tanks for the septic system, installed by a crane truck in the very neat holes Robbie Driediger had dug. Believe it or not, he has asked me to at least partially fill them with water so that they don't float! Seems it's not unheard of where the ground is clay and rain water accumulates in the holes.

And that is a distinct possibility because the weather forecast is for about 5 more days of rain. No fun!

  1. Humm, floating septic tanks - those things only happen on the wet-coast

  2. i see you opted not to change the location of the trailor. the deck looks like it'll be a good place to hang out when the weather improves.

    nice to skype with you tonight.

    be well in the quietness.
