Our lovely clay soil...houses built on poor pasture (aka a bog!) in the 1930s
Not many people in the village have veggie gardens...but thosethat do,you can see the results of years of adding compost and manure.

 the drainage trench under the shed

 flat(tish) pack shed....

 roof in two halves..

 and going up..

 up!!

 The crew...The Pirate, Paddy from over the road, John who worked with Vic many moons ago and Al from the cycling club.

 Pirate and his shed....still needs more bolts, but it is up, on a day that started with rain and snow!

My workshop next....should go up easier,but needs more groundwork first.

The Shed

"His"
Thats what friends are for....meanwhile , "Hers" is full of his stuff pending completion of "His"....

The Shed. and a mountain....

 The Pirate (and me!) helped a friend put up A Shed!!!

On the way home we rode up Mount View Road......and saw the marker for number 53...

 then we noticed the view.....Mount Ruapeho has been hiding in the clouds or haze every other time we've been up this road!!

So that is why the road is so named!!
