I have 10 earthworks to do, the most important of which is digging an approximately 120-meter trench for drainage to remove ground water from the house's foundation.
In this episode, we will also be repairing 300 meters of our access road. Currently it has made a high hump and our car is rubbing the road with its undercarriage.
I also have other minor work to do - improving the riverbed, repairing the caravan driveway and a few others intresting projects.
