Hippy Chris

The path is almost exactly 50m long with a 12.5m rise. That makes 120 steps 400mm deep with a 100mm rise inevitable.

Cool!
Once the first 12 and the landing are done i'll give it a break, as i need these new steps once the cabin is built over the old.
However it works out to approximately 120 steps with a 100mm rise to get from the street to the main flat.

There are going to be a lot of concepts in the mix.

Easier than i thought.
I just cut roots away where they were an issue, and removed enough dirt to get the top out below ground level with a baby chainsaw.

Ex stump, now drying out for firewood.

Obstacle removed, now back to my 12 step program.

Stumped. :-)

All steps must be at least 1200mm wide.
That's the standard i set myself, so this stump is going.

8 steps. ⅔ of the way in this section.

8 steps complete on the 12 step program.

4 more to go once the concrete dries.

Daytime.

These are the mud steps this is slowly replacing.

Dusk.

Night time.

It's not cold.
I'm not sick (physically)
I'm out of gravel.
Here's step 3 mostly done.
And relevant lighting.

More gravel and progress soon.

Not warm.
I'm sick.
Outside cold.
No progress.
Report ends.

Sick, but still making very very slow progress.

Second step in my 12 step project.

Today i broke Duolingo.

It stuck itself in a loop and put me through the same listening lesson about 20 times till i shut it down.

That's not so bad though. My German score is now 51. Although the course aims to go to 160, nothing is written past 80, so a well learned 80 is better than a poor 80

Still keeping an eye on this one...
Waiting waiting waiting...

First step laid.
11 more to go.

"Herman is high" is a song about Nina's junkie ex (i think) the attitude, the indulgence, and the decay.
The naughtiest line is "Herman doesn't give a shit about life"

2% income tax vs 100% tariff on goods common people consume.

This is my primary power source at the moment.

Yes the trees need a trim.

This gets up to 4 hours sunshine through winter.

Other panels get a little bit, but nothing fantastic.

It's an ongoing journey..

Today's German lesson....

"Ich habe mich übergeben"

..... meaning "i threw up".

Duolingo just gave me a half hour lesson on vomiting.

Mmmmm Bowling club Kai!

Another $5 meal bought from the bowling club last night.

Actually i bought 3, a loaf of bread, a jar of cauliflower pickle, and that's pretty much me set up till Monday.

Hi.....
I'm still hoping to join the party from New Zealand, if you'll have us!

I hope they get one and that it's huge.
