100MPH

Wow
a lot has happened since the last entry.
We had no news for two weeks, then on the 16th the land transfers completed, and we had our access!
We've had a weekend of garden clearance, cutting our way through the neighbours shrubs to create our drive, then a weekend of fencing to seperate the gardens (and some busy evenings in between. The view is from the plot looking towards our drive, we'll replace the fencing on the other side as we near completion on the house. Gramp helped out a lot with the clearance and fencing.
We've even fitted in an evening to place the order for our timber frame. http://www.framewiseltd.co.uk/ It's scheduled for delivery 26th Oct, by which time we must strip topsoil, install ducts for services, hardcore road, dig strip foundations, build up blockwork (1500 concrete blocks), prep & cast ground floor slab, erect scaffold. Phew - not all by ourselves, we will enlist some contractors.
This weekend we let loose with an excavator, courtesy of my employers Lewis Ltd http://www.dlce.co.uk/.
It's non stop action from here on in!
