Nearly all if the steelwork is now in and the brickies are just finishing the facing bricks around the steel posts. It’s good to finally see the building out of the ground!

A very exciting day today as the first of the steels are erected.

Today the walls and roof arrived on the back of a rather large lorry. The driver had fun getting it down our lane.

Today the roof tiles were stripped Back. Please don’t rain… And a bit if tidying up at the back ready for landscaping.

I spent a large part of the day fitting gravel boards and the frame for the new fence. Horizontal slats will be fitted eventually. It may take a while though as I need to paint them before I fit them and it’s too cold and wet to do that outside. I will miss the sheep…

The groundworks are finally approaching their end. Today, the hardcore under the structural slab was flattened, the concrete pads for the steelwork finished and there was a bit of a tidy up.

It’s been a few days since I have posted, but things have been moving. Today, some more brick and blocks went in. Over the last few days, work has continued on the drainage. The rear soak away has been connected to the pipework for the ACO drain and guttering.

More work on the drains. Gravel boards installed on the fence posts. And BT have fixed the telephone line again.
