The truck will stay on the barge & pump the concrete to the site. It's for the foundations - lots of holes to be filled & when it's set stainless steel posts will be bolted on to hold the house up!!

Worms eat all the muck in that tank. Then the grey water goes into another tank & is gradually pumped up the hill into irrigation pipes under the surface!!

Sparassidae: This family contains very large hairy spiders with all legs curved forwards so the spiders can move sideways as well as straight ahead. The outer segments of each leg have dense scopulae which facilitate lateral movements. The typical body and leg colours are grey, brown and black, often with enough mottling to provide useful camouflage when the spiders are resting on bark surfaces. It is usual to find huntsman spiders under bark, although they will sometimes be found on the walls of man-made constructions.

Cyathus novae-zeelandiae Bird’s nest fungus Nidulariaceae
These small fungi with vase-shaped bodies are usually found tightly packed together growing in potting mix and in litter particularly if some dung is present. The outside of the fruiting body of this species is hairy and fawn-coloured, becoming grey. Inside is a shiny grey and the upper portion is internally striated. In the base there are the ‘eggs’ or peridioles, which are splashed out by raindrops. Several species may be found together.
