Final bits
December 2, 2008
The shed is nearing completion. I’m currently painting the outside (white) and digging the trench for the power cable to connect the shed to the electricity board in the house. Both jobs are hard work. The outside walls are rough casted so painting is tough. It takes quite a bit of pressure on the roller to get all the paint in all the nooks and crannies. Also, I need to do two coats to get proper coverage. Don’t want to complain, but I feel like my hands are dragging behind me like an early primate.
The trench for the power cable is roughly 20 meters long and need to be 20 inches (50 cm) deep. Also hard work, I can tell ya! I bought a pick axe for this specific job. Earlier trials with a spade did not work as I have to break really rocky earth. My plan is to finish the trench by the end of the week. I estimate I’ve done 15 meters. When it’s completed the electrician will hook up the shed to the house.

Does indeed sound like “back-breaking” work - just think of the feeling of satisfaction at the end of the project……
Yes, it is. Back-breaking is THE word… Had some beautiful sunrises over the past days. You must be looking forward to your stay next year…
Next Year - yes i cannot wait…….it seems a long way off but no doub will come around reasonably quickly. Have booked High Tide again-although i know its up for sale. Only hope with current market and fact it seems bit over priced-that there will be no movement on it - take care. Beautiful sunsets-get them on the blog-PLEASE!
