Well looks like the winter is finally staring to hit, it is probably a bad time of year to start a site but we will get over that. The man with the jcb is doing it as a favour for my girlfriends father so he only appears on Saturdays! He has been there now for the last three!
I am informed that he is there today with a bulldozer, so hopefully we might be able to pour foundations this week or at least before christmas, can close the site down then until after the christmas. Hopefully the weather will be favourable in the new year and we can get a good run at it.
At the moment the only unexpected/unforseen we have had were that there was far more ground to be moved than we had expected once we had the level on site. When we removed the bend i thought i would need loads of fencing but we have built up a good size temporary bank, it offers storage for the soil and security (as can be seen in the pictures slideshow)The JCB man also had some good local connections for stone and concrete, so he has proved helpful.
