Final post on this section. All leveled. Wall and bench made. And trees chopped for more light…
So what’s next… well we need to burry some posts and make shelter roof. Dig and fit the waste water pipe. Then design a manual footpump for the shower. And plumb the roof into the water catchment barrel which I carried up a few days before…
