Work starts on the Tree Hut!

The previous owners left a heap of wood so I decided to put it to good use. This weekend I built a large vege garden for Sarah and had enough wood left over to start on a tree hut for Jack. I made a good start, but need to find some free timber to do some more.

Sarah’s arena gets a groom. Should be nice and bouncy now!

After moving in we discovered that Sarah’s arena didn’t have a top surface. It was just a crusher dust base, but the previous owner had never put a surface on it. So unfortunately we needed to put 75 tonnes of sand on the top! The trucks came today at 8:30am…   Never boring at the Stones!

The office is progressing!

The office is coming along well. It’ll look awesome when done in a few weeks! Below is the front of the office, showing the entrance and huge window in my office.

Sarah’s Garden getting sorted

Sarah’s been working really hard in the garden. When we moved in there were weeds over the entire garden. She’s sorted that, put on bark and added some plants so it looks great!
