October 7th.....Work has started !!!

Andy and Baz arrived today with a large excavator and chain saw! By the end of the day much of the debris and shrubbery on the site already had been attacked.

Monday will see the start of the tree felling and the opening up of the site.

We have to arrange the moving of a telegraph pole in the middle of the site and shut off a water service.

Huf's 'basement' expert ,Volker, arrives on Wednesday to talk through his part of the work. He will bring a team to construct the base slab and basement walls and retaining wall. This is scheduled for later this month and the house itself is scheduled for first week in December.

The site works are scheduled to take two weeks and I am keen to get the basement constructed soon after the excavations have been completed.
