What to do on a friday.

 
The bricky wasn't available today. So they dug out the soil pipe ready for more concrete. Its deep but Rebekah did manage to climb out on her own.
 
We also cleaned out the trench, it was full of clay and water. Great fun for Rebekah and we got very dirty!

The Blocks Arrive.

 
7.15 am This lorry arrives and unloads our blocks.
 
It took the lads hours to shift them but now they are stacked all round the garden.

My own bit of handy work.

The drive has been unfinished for years.
 
Time to take action with the sledge hammer.
 
and the Stone cutter.
 
Note the suitable PPE.
 
 
Hey Presto. Now you can get from the road to the door with out stepping on mud!

The builders did pour the concrete for me.

Pouring the last concrete.

 
Martin takes aim.
 
In goes the concrete, direct to the hole this time... no messing with wheel barrows!
 
All done.

Tuesday week 2

Today they have finished digging the footings for the extension. Tomorrow comes the concrete then the walls can start to appear. The props are just precautionary to make sure Eddie's garage stays where it is.

This is the second stage of the digging foundations. They can't do too much at a time otherwise Eddie and Margaret's wall might fall into the hole!!
