Diary of a modern day pioneer couple

Upon James' brilliant idea that he was bored and needed to build something like a house, garage and stables, we sold our 100 acre farm between Goulburn and Marulan and bought a 200 acre farm between Gundaroo and Collector, just outside of Canberra. We are now living on the new farm in a caravan with no electricity, no sewerage and no running water! This is our story. James and Tracey

How to make an entrance



First you get an idea in your head, then you put it on paper, give it to your window and door maker and voila!! An entrance is born. The guys came on Monday to install the bi-fold doors from the living area out to the pergola area, the big sliding door from the kitchen to the pergola area, the front doors, our bedroom door and the two garage windows. These were all ones that we couldn't do ourselves. They all still need to be stained and sealed like the windows which have only taken us two months to do so that's what we'll be doing this weekend. We're still working on putting the tin on the roof on the garage and only have one more side to go then the ridge capping then that will all be done, other than the external walls of course. When that's done, which should be this weekend, it's onto the stable roof we go.
