We have a tank installed! Silly me took a photo of the ground being prepared for the smallest tank to go in first, and I didn't take one of the tank installed...ah, well!
With a little help from a brother, Tom worked hard last week (with two trips down straight after work) to prepare trenches and pipes so that the small tank could start collecting water. I will be able to report after this weekend as to the efficacy of works undertaken.
I've also had a chat with our accountant about our tax affairs. It was scary in anticipation of the appointment, but now I have complete confidence in what I have to do...wholly and solely because I've been recommended I leave the hard work up to the sweet, sweet magic of...SOFTWARE! The package she recommends is a PC-only job, and I don't fancy messing around with Parallels to get Windows on my precious Mac. So, I'm going with a package called MoneyWorks Express. I'm mostly through the tutorial and really excited about setting up account codes, recording receipts and generating reports. Sad, I know. Efficient, definitely.
I've been on the blower to the CMA guy who said he was going to do a walk of our creekline to determine if we qualify as priority landowners for assistance in water frontage management. He reckons we do, and he'll go back to do a more thorough inspection. Between children annoying each other (loudly) and dogs barking, I *think* I heard him say we ARE in a priority area and will be eligible for fencing and reveg assistance - brilliant! He also said they have done some work upstream and a bit downstream, so I'll be interested to see those works and plans of action for them.
Oh, and possibly the most important part of proceedings is the news that I have two poles ready to be 'planted' into the ground by the hill track gate, for the purposes of attaching our Tibetan Prayer Flags. It's gotta be a good vibe for us to implement this vital detail for the prosperity of the farm and of the universe we serve!
