Three days ago, at the end of the afternoon, we did the leveling again with our laser to get the blocks in the correct position on the strip foundation. We also checked the foundation height (reference / measuring point is the heart of the labyrinth). It's great to see the horizontal green light from the laser level all over our site in the dark.
The day before yesterday we prepared pipework in the morning to fill the pond to keep the water level in the pond stable during the dry season. It is great to see how many animals are attracted to the water in the pond. With water in the pond all year round, we hope to see them as much as possible all year round as well. Our idea is to eventually use the pipe to make a small waterfall, but that's something that will take several years. Kind of a bonus ;).
In the afternoon we started bricklaying / gluing blocks (the special strong G4 quality blocks from Q-Con). Copper grounding pins (1.8 m length) and first thick copper wires for grounding the electrical installation and two lightning rods have already been installed. Just for some extra safety.
The pyramids we are building will be the tallest in the vicinity and we already have some experience of severe thunderstorms here. The steel roof construction (Faraday cage) is also specifically grounded.
Today and tomorrow we will continue laying the concrete blocks and the first pipes will also be installed to get electricity and water in, and to drain waste water from the sink, the shower and a scrubbing drain out. The toilet drains separately to the septic tank.
