WOW! things are going at an incredible pace now, and I haven't even taken any pictures today, so I think this blog will be in bullet points and I will be putting more pictures on tomorrow,
* The two brickies started on Monday Mike and Karl the 3rd they have brought all their tools and are now going to cycle over each day this really is an eco build! they are doing a really great job and seem nice and very willing to work around us as the frame goes up, it's all very polite and considerate a bit like one of those dances on a period drama, as they all work around the site together!
* Neil is leaving Harlows (thankfully he's not been sacked for poor timber frame design) in 3 weeks so we have another bloke to deal with now, but I guess any problems we may have with the frame in the next couple of months will be blamed on Neil!!
* The two remaining trenches got filled yesterday, hopefully we can still get the fork lift into the back garden, without driving on it, not that there is any space for it in the garden!!!
* According to Neil there is nothing we can do about the problem of the stairs and the support beam in the hall, it seems pointless trying to teach Neil that in MY opinion everything IS possible, I will be better spending my time getting the new bloke round to my way of thinking!
* The rain water harvester soakaway has a soakaway all of its own and, it's in the place where the garden once was. A bit was missing from the Rain water kit and rainwaterharvesting.co.uk think they are going to charge us to replace it -WRONG - we have lots of trenches to war with them in!
* Conservatory Tom has been in touch but it's bad news I am afraid he is having difficulties getting planning permission for his conservatory extension, I will keep you all up-dated as soon as I hear anything.
................So the house is going up and I really can't believe how fast, It is fantastic, so much for savouring every moment you go and make a pot of tea and two more rooms have walls! I will take plenty of pictures tomorow.
