First Hole Dug


We went out to the land today, now that we officially own it. We had planned to plant our first tree - a native frangipani - but after pegging out the dimensions of our house the building envelope didn't leave much room for it. We decided it might not survive the building process so best to wait till later. We were a bit disappointed that house has had to be set back so far on the land because it leaves no backyard but we are still looking forward to working with what we've got. We've also chosen to use the large space in the front yard for a 10,000L water tank, something that will definately come in handy with the weather lately. We still planted the compost to help improve the soil and Bryan looked great digging his "first hole" on his own land. Since I was no good at digging I spent the weekend dreaming at Puppy World. I think our first dog will be like this one pictured here!!!
