New Steps

On our last trip to Sydney we brought back a set of steps and today is the day they will be installed.

There was timber and a large rock step and we added the iron, but it was time to go as it is a good place for a snake to hang out and im not a fan of snakes as most of you know, and spring is here and so is the warn weather.

Away went the rock and the iron, with a few Red Backs on the underside.

Next the old timber was prised up.

All raked up and ready.

First Andrew add a piece of timber under the edge of the floor.

Using a Bit and Brace, drilled holes in the floor and screwed it together.

Added a second piece of timber in front. The timber is Yellow Box that Andrew milled.

Again drilled and using hex screws to attach.

Next drilled holes in the top to hold the stairs in place, sorry didn't take a picture of that bit.

Levelled the dirt and attached the stairs, added a couple of paver's at the bottom.

We may add some gravel as its a bit muddy.

Homeward Bound

160 acres and a Tiny House

 12-5-2015, we drove to Cooma picked up paper work and bank cheques and drove to Canberra, swapped them for the deeds and transfer papers and the property now belongs to us.
By the time we drove back to camp it was well and truly dark so one more night at Phillip and Scots place.
We would like to send them a very big thank you for allowing us to camp on their property.

 13-5-2015 all loaded up and ready to go, the camp site all tidy just leaving tent marks on the ground.

Starting to sleet on the way out.

Our property has a private road that is maintained by all the residents and has no road name.

To get there you have to pass through a Dog/ kangaroo gate that must be closed at all times.

There is also a nature reserve just before the main gate. At the gate way there is a sign that says end of council road enter at own risk.

Heading down our new road and onto the property.

The front paddock with a very large tree that has split down the middle.

If you look closely you can see our tiny house through the trees.
