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 7th December

So at last, 4 months after we started, the ground slab of the house has been poured. This is a really big milestone - it feels like the house is now permanently integrated with the land.  We have finished the roots of the house.  The rest of the house is something that is lighter and less powerful.

It was a  perfect day for pouring concrete - no rain and not too hot
The pour started at about 6:30am
The concrete pump and one of about 15 concrete trucks
The  pump arm needed to reach 30m
This is the slab at 5pm
It is great to finally see the reality of the floor plan of the house
The finish of the concrete is really smooth; maybe we don't need tiles!
