It's all about dirt right now - with all the rain, the soil is nice and diggable, so I'm clearing & levelling all around the house before starting the onslaught of the outside painting job. In a couple of days the dirt will be like concrete again, tough enough to break the shovel.
The chooks are doing an amazing job decimating the insects! I haven't had any plagues for days now, although I did find a "small" tarantula-like hideous lurking thing in the grass.
They are bringing solar power to Meeka! Iain the solar power guy turned up with some info and I think I'll go for it. We get these brilliant subsidies that bring the normally $15,000 system down to $5000 and it pretty much wipes out your power bill forever.
That's all I have to say for myself today - it's just dig dig dig work work work paint paint paint. Here are some photos from this morning.
