Going off the Grid Ep 9 - We have our House Slab!
You learn patience when trying to build in the Tropics over the wet season. We have waited 5 months to get our Shed House (Cabin sized) foundation and slab work carried out. The land has a gradual slope on it and we decided to "cut and fill" rather than build up the land which would have been very expensive. Unfortunately when the cut and fill was done, it did not have enough of a gradient to allow for drainage, hence water remained on the pad and made it impossible to work on. In recent weeks we have had enough good weather to allow some work. First we drained away the water, then removed the sloppy clay, then we added gravel. Finally the concrete slab was made. The Slab has drilled piers to aid in strength and stability. Aside from that, we set in additional rain water tanks, completed odd jobs and bought a bigger tractor!
Our Shed house or Cabin is small being 8m x 6m with a 3m x 8m verandah. We are downsizing from a 5 bedroom house to a single bedroom shed home. It's quite a transition for us. The Kids have moved on now and we are looking forward to building on our of grid adventure in the Beautiful Atherton Tablelands!
The Spider was unharmed and relocated but I think it was just as shocked as I was!
See you next time and thanks for watching!
