Showers overnight and during the day but no heavy rain.

Mark spent half the afternoon clearing the One Acre of the mounds of thistles I mowed over the weekend. He continued my practice of mowing the ground in a direction which created long windrows of cut vegetation and then used the Kioti bucket to push it into piles which he then carried over to the planting area, off the pasture area.

After tea break we unloaded the big trailer of its load of scrap metal – which needs sorting into valuable lead and copper versus the rest – and used it to cart away wood and a couple of unsalvageable window frames stacked on the gravel near the new back porch. Plumber Dean is to reroute the sewer pipe to the old septic tank to avoid an unsightly ventilation pipe up the side of the house and the old wood etc was in the way.

Karola and I inspected the homestead project and chatted to Paul who is about to put up GIB on the upper passage walls. In fact today much of his time was spent in putting up skirting newly machined by joiner Graeme. We noticed that Graeme had delivered the window for the back porch; he’d already provided the frame and that is installed.
