The trench for the power and phone
After weeks of waiting we have some activity, the electricians have been out and the power and phone cables have been laid, it’s about 250 metres from the road so it’s 3 phase power and the usual 4 strand for the phone, we have taken it to the site of the shed and we will now start the process of getting power organised.
The fencer has also started which is great news! we are getting three paddocks done at this stage, an 80 metre by 80 metre square will be cut in half by another fence, this internal fence will have two tree boxes in which we will plant willows to provide some shade, apparently they grow up to 2.5 metres per year so it won’t be too long before they start to become a feature. The other paddock is about 20 metres by 30 and this will be the “diet” paddock, this will be the paddock most despised by the horses, because here, the grass will be kept short…for their own good.

Here’s a rule for you, GET THREE QUOTES! even if someone is recommended to you as as a mate, or a brother in law, or an excellent supplier or tradesperson or whatever, get at least three quotes! The variations in price are sometimes astonishing!
