the shed and foundations

Things are finally happening, a slab for the shed and blockwork for the house slab have been completed and shed is roofed and bales out of the weather. The shed will also have a sleep-in workshop (straw-baled) on the northern wall.

The workshop will be strawbale and cob with an external colourbond wall for weather protection, due to the lack of eaves on the existing shed structure. We have acquired a large piece of cast iron to embed in the north-facing internal wall for thermal mass (see picture).

Straw bales got a little wet from a storm this week but only on the outside, can't wait for the walls.
This winter we have had over 500mm so far with alot more on the way.

Also have a concrete tank of 40000 litres with 10000 litres for fire fighting.
