Six more days of summer...but daytime temps are still hitting around 29-30 degrees Celcius (85 F), but the daylight is getting shorter and shorter : ( Nice indian summer though!
I received another lovely visit from the Development officer today, and he was a little more terse this time. He told us "Don't bring any more trailers or anything out here" until we've had some approval from the Almighty County Council. I didn't know, but they require a development permit even for temporary dwellings...boooo! I guess we'll get the permit, but I don't want to hear that we need to wait several weeks to allow them to use their new home. We just spent the day moving all their stuff out here yesterday, there's nowhere for them to go!! I wrote a letter today, and I'm going to bring it there tommorow. If I can, I will be attending the Council meeting on Wednesday this week. I want to be there when they read my letter, and possibly explain further.
We just have to leave this in God's hands. There will be a way!
Despite the lack of money for materials, I've been chugging away at my workshop. I managed to find cinderblocks for $1 each, and I got 60. It's enough to finish the half-basement wall, but I ran out of cement! The basement wall isn't really supporting much, so I'm just filling the holes with cement, and then I'll plaster the outside of the blocks to keep them together.
I've amended my expectations to assume that it will take me until the end of October, which is fine. As long as the weather stays fairly dry, and it's not excessively cold (think -20 degrees) I can git er done.
