Start of the services

Things are looking good on the land. Everything is going to plan, we're on track for moving day and the budget is looking happy.

This weekend Rowan started working on the first of the 'services'- the septic tank. All of the parts arrived on Friday including what looks like 100 pipes and connections. 

Brian the 'Drain Man' has designed the septic tank and is keeping an eye on Rowan's construction. 

Rowan spent the day scraping back the field drain site and dug out a platform for the four separate tank units. It looks like the perfect sight for a swimming pool- but not this time. 

Rowan tells me it's a pretty simple septic tank system. I'm sure he knows what he's talking about. He's pretty excited about all if this!

(I think that will be the last time he'll want to play in there!!) 

Rowan's showing off his skills on the digger! 

Believe it or not I just finished a VERY important job. I was feeling pretty useful! Too bad Rowan covered it up with dirt!

And Toppie came out for a flying lesson.

Perfect day for a spot of plane flying :)
