As I mentioned here there was alot of work to do to clear the block of some smaller bushes and trees and years of built up tree debris which needed to be raked up and burnt off.
We started this in September of 2008 and I reckon it took a good 6 weeks to get it cleared.
Also during this time we got the tree lopper Albert in to take down a quite a number of the larger trees which were Karris mostly.........
including a huge one.
Of course the poodles had to get involved also.
and we had plenty of wood.
Following consultations with our builder Turpsy, we also needed to get a digger in to remove some rocks so as we could get the footings where they needed to go and we ended up with a fantastic big rocks which Michelle got the driver to place interestingly.
Now we have all these wonderful big rocks and lots and lots of smaller ones too which is terrific as the bottom of the block does not have a fence all the way across the block so Michelle decides to build a dry stone wall.
This is really heavy work but Michelle treats it as a sculpture and gets heaps for herself out of the experience.
As there were only enough rocks to cover a certain distance, sections of split large rounds and the complete smaller ones from the felling of the trees were used to span the rest of the distance and it looks awesome.
