The Container Fortress

23/02/2026

Yesterday we took advantage of the heavily funded government (taxpayer) solar panel and battery scheme 👌 hopefully we will never have another power bill in my lifetime 🥳

42kw battery
15kw 3 phase invertor
28 x 475w solar panels
Fingers crossed 🤞that’ll be enough 😂

After 2 years of trying to find someone competent enough to create the framework structure, we finally got it finished this week and hopefully next week we can get the sheeting fitted.

After 18 months of collecting 1.5 ton concrete blocks L & A Andrews Earthmoving placed the 66 blocks into the ground to create the pad for the Fortress Stable.

Several neighbours have complained about this tree and how they burn intensely during a fire storm, so today whilst we were having the Stable’s pad constructed, Lochlan from L & A Andrews Earthmoving made easy work of this nuisance oversized plant 👌

We got the pier bases sorted today by Glen Felton and Micks mini mix concrete 0408272368 ... It's feels great to be moving forward again with the construction.

We had a huge clean up this week of dead and fallen trees plus loads of undergrowth removed by L & A Andrews Earthmoving but we were surprised to find a council sewer pit buried under all of the blackberry bushes.
