4 Oct 07Cement worksToday reminded us how planet friendly the tyre work is compared to building with cement. We had to do the corner filler block out of concrete which took 3 back-breaking wheelbarrow loads of concrete and loads of water just to make this block and a half. That's half a sack of cement, a large bucket and a half of builders sand and about 20 litres of water - the rocks were free as we have loads on the land!. So for economy, zero transportation of materials and in low water situations tyre thumping is a much better building solution.
5 tyres pounded today - total tyre count now 104WeatherThe weather today was stunning. We watched a storm work it's way around us throughout the day. We saw lightening, rain (not on us), fantastic big black clouds swirling around the mountains with luminous sunlit patches - it was a wonderful sight. Then on the way home we saw this double rainbow. Experiencing nature in the raw is awesom.
