This week has seen a flurry of miscellaneous activities
including the installation of 2 enormous rainwater tanks. These are designed to ensure that rain
run-off will not overwhelm the street’s drainage system by flooding into these
tanks and then gradually drip into the drains. This rainwater is also used to
flush the loos. How very green!
Each tank holds 5,000 litres. Along with the 50,000 litres
in the pool, we’ll have plenty of water on site.

Lots of other things going on this week. Grouting is
complete on the tiles and the whacking great hole in the side of the kids’
playroom has now disappeared – hoorah.

| Horrah - the hole has now gone |

| On this side, they have left a little niche for us to use to store the kid's books. |
They’ve also done a rather neat job on a retaining wall to
stop our driveway from getting washed away. However, they used the left over house bricks which Steve was planning to use to build a letter box. Of course, in the UK, you just have a letter box flap in the door.
