Welcome

We are the owners of a 1.4 hectare block of land on the Central Coast.

The site includes areas of rainforest which have been badly overrun by non-native plants. Our project is to restore the rainforest and to build an environmentally sustainable house on the site.

This blog records the bush regeneration work we are undertaking and the progress on building the house.

Photos from week starting 15th November

The photos this week show what can happen if we only have showers rather than torrential downpours.  The ground is still wet but the progress has been impressive.

The drainage membrane and pipe along the east retaining wall.

The east and south retaining walls are now ready for backfilling

Slab edge formwork has been fixed along the top of the east retaining wall

The swimming pool has been pumped out but there is still quite a bit of work to clean all the wall starter bars

The top of the west excavation has now been battered back to prevent any further collapses

The site is still very wet, all the pile tops are full of water

The locations of the slab thickenings have been marked out
