Our plot in Glen Cairn, Cape Town
Our plot is on quite a slope so the building will have to stand on pillars. We will one day have the most wonderful view! We started to clear the plot in preparation for the building.

Logs for planking..
Darryl cut the logs into 2.8 meter lengths to be collected and taken to the sawmill to be turned into planks for flooring. The ends had to be painted to protect the wood from bugs. Some logs, particularly the pink gum, cracked a bit. The white gum was way more dense and seldom cracked. The truck picked up 30 tons of logs to be worked into planking. Here you can clearly see the two different colour planks.... pink and white gum. :
