In a relatively short period we could do a lot.
This time on maintenance we had to cut 8 big trees. Picking up the electricity bill (under our electricity meter every 17th of the month) I discovered eight trees and many climbers surrounded the electricity lines to our site. So we cut these trees last Saturday. It took us around five hours to cut the branches (many of them more than four meters) and take the climbers off. Happy with my Dutch Altrex stepladder but still a tricky business working in trees so high and also in a temperature of 38 degrees C.
The second thing we had to do was to clean our 'grease trap' of the kitchen sewage water supply. We do two times a year. Not a nice job but really necessary to keep the soak away field as 'clean' (and without to many problems working) as possible.
The weather forecast is even not stable but in between the rainshowers (and only when we could use the road) we managed to buy several construction materials to finish the second guest pyramid.
We managed to finish the outside ceiling. We also levelled the inside floor with a sand/cement mortar. The outside door is prepared and will be installed tomorrow. Phatsamon yesterday painted a special anti termite coating and today a first layer of gloss.
We prepared our third sewage system with septic tank and soak away field. Again the soak away field pipes are surrounded by gravel and covered with a special fabric to diminish sand and soil to fill the perforated drain pipes.
Today we asked our friend 'digging machine' to help us out and to level the soil around the second guest pyramid and prepare a sand-bed to install the pavement around. We started at nine and were just at five PM finished. Puppy dog Cupid had to stay on the leash during the day. Kadhow was in charge as first 'security officer'. Both did a great job.
Happy only we had a few drops of rain so far. Time for a beer, some relaxation and a nice dinner. Tomorrow another day.
