Day the piles hit the ground

Last week the weather was kind enough not to rain and dried up the section of unsealed road for the delivery of piles to site.















Off loading the last delivery.



















The moment I like to be present.. piling machine driving the first pile into ground.
























A second section being welded over the first.

Piling in progress..



















It reached hard ground sooner than expected & resisted going down further!



















Managed only 5 for the afternoon, tower of the piling machine lowered before calling it a day.















Piling work completed a week later. Excess pile lengths were cut to ground - to reuse for fencing posts (overkill perhaps).










Some bonus caught at the deep pond - 2 species (1.5Kg each I reckon); full length of my foam box!



















I am into identifying fish species next.
