The plan to work with the bulldozer during frost failed after 0,5 m of snow over the swamp. The bank protection was heavy work in self-performance, concrete channels to collect runoff from the slope and rainwater from the roof were installed. Difficult garden work, the lawn area was raised 130 cm above, with humus. For the gravel vehicles and bulldozers, the entrance gate was too small, therefore the columns were removed and a second entrance was built. A new propane gas heater was donated by the family Gröbl, a new refrigerator was donated by the family Straßl, rental for about 500 m², in total 5.000,- rental.
