Move It

I had a big delivery of plasterboards at my house this morning, around 10am. Plasterboards are the material that walls are made out of, and unfortunately we had to move more than 100 of them up into the barn where I am building a house (if you want to see more of it, have a look at BuildAHouseWithMe.com).

The whole place looks pretty full now (a mess), but I have enough materials for the next four months of building (AT LEAST).


So anyway it took about 6 hours to shift them, and it would have been a lot longer if there wasn’t an EXPERT TRACTOR DRIVER on hand to help:

Just as we were moving the final few boards, I noticed that each had a time and date written on them, saying when they were produced in the factory:



Amazingly, they were made at 4:53am on the 11th January…just two days ago!



The only question I have is how did they manage to ship them from China so quickly?!

That’s a lot of turf

Some people emailed me recently asking what I do. I have no good answer for this, so let’s just say that I dig holes and move the turf to other places. Today I did that, for five hours NON STOP. That’s a lot of turf.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words…and if that is true, the following photos represent my Bible, Little Red Book, Hobbit and To Kill a Mockingbird, rolled into one.

他们说一张照片胜过千言万语… …如果这是真的话,下面的照片可以代表我的圣经,红宝书,霍比特和杀死一只知更鸟,集于一身。

Ok, I have to admit that it did take me about four days to count the money…it’s not easy to pick up stacks of 10 mao coins with my fat sausage fingers.

好吧,我必须承认我大概用了四天时间数钱…用我肥胖的香肠指拿一堆10毛可不容易。
