Planning

It's been a good weekend. Went to Hamilton to the Small Block Expo on Saturday and saw about a thousand ways to spend money. Didn't actually spend much though have enough brochures to spend lots later...

Finished with that at about 3pm and drove up to Coromandal township where we had dinner and stayed the night. Spent some of the time formulating the next five year plan. I suppose it should be noted that the last five year plan (made three years ago) has been deviated from so badly that what we have achieved bears no resemblence to what we intended to achieve. Still it is good to have a plan... (and to be flexible)

First on the Kismet Farm plan list is to sort the water issues (or they may be non issues as we haven't run out of water...) in the shape of a second water tank for the house and another separate tank for stock water.

The stock water tank will collect water off the second garage that is currently sitting where the orchard should be so is going to be reincarnated as some stables in the spot where the chook run is currently residing - once the chooks have been moved closer to the house, which will happen once the driveway has been sorted.... (confused - you should be!) so it's a good, but somewhat expensive plan LOL. In the meantime we'll plant the orchard in the rest of the orchard area and put a tank in place - at least the plastic ones aren't too difficult to move later.

Then there's a second house water tank.... I have a sneaking suspicion that it will either need demolition of several major structures or a helicopter to put the tank in place. Should be interesting.

We'll see how it goes.
