Rob left for Perth and Kalgoorlie on Sunday afternoon but life on the farm goes on! Have raked up the back lawn ready for mowing / mulching and taken the bamboo and tree stump down to the fire. Measured out the Mulberry Paddock for the building licence and am starting to re-think the marris on the verge - these will have to go if we are to put a crossover in at the discussed spot. Spread the soil on the amoeba and prepared bags for the trees.
Yesterday I discussed the house building contract with Ross and signed it satisfied with the cost-plus 10% proposal. Printed out a google map and drew on the shed position too - now Ross can submit the building license. Need to do an overall plan for the property - hopefully will have a draft to discuss when Rob is here on the weekend.
I also posted our first Team Blog, bringing the Silk Road into the twenty-first century and out to the world!! (By the way my work computer is dead - sent an email to Ritesh to see if there is anything he can do by remote but I think I will be returning a useless carcass to Buly when I go.)
Was a computer-type day - took all day to download Microsoft Office for my home computer and update windows and explorer - my initial aim was to purchase Project as I can no longer use the Silk Road project plan on my work computer. Did not buy as it is $750 and wanted to think about it. Spent last night entering accounts into the spreadsheets - very good template - will run it past the accountant next time i visit. (Reminds me - must do tax (x 2 x 2 years).
Found a couple of old starpickets which have surfaced with the increased traffic down the laneway - potential tyre killers. Tried to dig them up but buried deep and bent over - will see what i can do next time i have the tractor / loader down there.
That was yesterday!!
