Future Proofing Our Lives.

As everything is getting more and more expensive, we have decided to try to future proof ourselves by putting in water tanks (37,000 litres for household use), a household water and toilet treatment plant (which provides water for the gardens, 12,000 litre tanks to hold this water), solar panels which are hooked to the grid and pumping out at least 10kw per day over winter, and our raised garden beds to help us from bending in our old age. These are for vegies as well as flowers. We have our orchard planted so we will be right for fruit.

Here is the bearded wonder is having the time of his life playing on the Dingo, filling up the garden beds with fertilised loan.  He also had loads of blue metal to spread for the paths around the beds.

Here they are all filled, I've already planted several asparagus plants (that I got from home as they grow wild under the fruit trees in the orchard) Next time I go to visit my shack at the beach, I will plant spuds and sunflowers. The old swing sets you see in the picture are going to be recycled into a new hen house and run. So the shack is almost ready for us, all I have to do is win the Lotto so I can chuck in my job and move straight away or sell our home on the river and thats not even ready to go on the market yet! Just hanging out to go catch some fish for dinner off the beach.
