positive post
The loss of the cobb; the slow inevitable draining of the dams; old batteries that aren’t recharging well (thus, a lack of power) are things that make us realise the difficulty we have put ourselves into. Some days are indeed difficult – but wwhose life is easy? We try to focus on the positives: an […]
Kersplatt
This is sad. Do not laugh. It sums things up for now. After a night of thunder and lightening (remember: such weather events are rare in Tasmania) and close to 100mm in one night (I kid you not – I sort of measured it) our beloved Cobb oven went kerplunk. It is sad for me, […]
Post #100
Yay! We celebrate post #100 with a few exciting details on our progress at Fangorn! Firstly, the title (“Post”) is quite fitting today as today is the day we’re expecting to raise our first house post! It will be a two-man effort (or at least one man and one woman), with the posts being very […]

Concrete and Septic
We’re really excited that we now have a concrete slab! It was 0630 on a cold, wet and foggy Monday morning when the concreters arrived with a pump truck, and throughout the morning 9 concrete trucks made it up our hilly driveways and the slab was made! It took an entire morning to pour the […]
