Gone...

.. yes today saw the last of 160 lorry loads of clay removed from the site (20 tons a load that's 3,200 tons)... the garden areas are now nice and level and will just need a small amount of top soil and seeding in a few months time.

Everything has changed...

... it seems that way as there is great progress with clearing the site, finishing the cottage etc... plus the sun is shining...

Sixteen tons...

... up to 20 tones per load, and about 500 tons of clay has been taken away over the last few days...

Down down...

.. the scaffolding is starting to come down to reveal the restored cottage. With some hope of dry weather front door is fitted and the base for the entrance steps has been laid.

White as snow...

... the snow returned again, not good for any outside work to take place but the tiling and preparation is progressing inside.

This is the time...

... the clock is installed and working.

Ready for the floor...

... the plasterers have all but finished and tomorrow they start to prepare the floors for laying the terrazzo. The zinc roof is coming on well.

What's Going On...

... lots but not much to take photos of...

• 1st fix electrics and plumbing completed
• Zinc roof being laid
• Plastering has commenced

Walls of Glass

All glazed windows and doors are now in the extension, first fix electrics well under way and the underfloor heating has been started to put warm water through the system to help with drying out the building ready for plaster boarding...
... with all the rain though the land is saturated

House with windows..
