Off and Running

Well, we spoke to the builder last week to tell him we had got the money. He phoned us on friday to say he was going to come saturday if he could get a skip. It then went quiet....

Until 10am this sunday morning when he arrived with 2 labourers and informed us a skip was on the way in an hour...

Before:





10 minutes later the skip arrived - and by 12 noon, it was full and we no longer had a garage.
By 6 pm they had filled another, almost cleared the shed, emptied the woodshed and started on the dog kennel.....

After:



Tomorrow, (yes, bank holiday monday!) he's bringing 3 labourers and expects to have started excavating the foundation trenches....

We'll be signing the contract and agreeing terms very soon, but the schedule has started in earnest - and I'm nervous, there's no turning back now (well, there is but it will be hard and expensive). I will be posting before and after photos as we go and I'm hoping to use a web cam to do a timelapse film.
