Saturday 7th October.... Work Starts

The machine arrived today to start the site clearance and the earthworks.

It is a bright sunny day and is forecast to be the same for a couple of days so progress should be good for the initial work anyway.

I have set the temporary bench marks up on the site and the levels will need to be reduced by up to 2.8 metres. This will allow the construction of the basement, part of which will be exposed on the north side.

We have around 9 large trees to be removed and lots of shrubbery and debris left bt the previous owners. There will be a bonfire here for a few days, but, after we will have a clear site and we can start to plan the landscaping and boundary treatment.
