work seems to progressing quite quickly so far, some trenches dug to reveal the chalk, lots of top soil removed and saved ready to go back eventually and the drive all dug out ready for hard core. building inspector has to come next and then i think concrete will be arriving on tuesday. been awake early thinking about all the things we've got to organise to keep up with the builder!
bridesmaids dresses coming along slowly. no time for creative stuff at the moment. just off to kettering for a wedding at least we'll have a really nice day weather is gorgeous.
well its been quite an exciting day, despite my misgivings about the weather they decided to go ahead today with the cement deliveries, i went out for a short time this morning and by the time i had returned some of the trenches were already filled. then later on today another lorry arrived with the workers cabin which was amazingly hoisted off the back of the lorry and into the garden - not really aesthetically pleasing but obviously a necessity. all this was done before the heavens opened and another monsoon descended on us. 
it rained all night, just like a monsoon, and although there was plastic sheeting all down the drive the plot is like a skating rink so no access for lorries. looking at the weather forecast i doubt whether they'll be here at all this week. so frustrating!!!
well the builders have turned up and so has the equipment, goodness knows what the neighbours think to all the activity. thank goodness the weather is good, if we have rain now it will be like a mud bath, the amazing digger has already carved out the drive and is busy levelling the site for our house.
