Moving on up

Safe to say milestone 2 has been reached, milestone 1 was probably getting started and breaking ground.  Milestone 2 is getting out of the ground, up to DPC level, slab down and all the ground works over (apologies for the technical talk!).

The site is now being cleared so that the "real" work can start, "real" meaning the stuff that makes it a house.  Over the next couple of weeks the downstairs wall will start to look like parts of the house.

As anyone who knows a thing about bricklaying knows, you start with the coins (that's corners to you), this week saw the start of a new phase as the corners appeared.  However, before that the final work started on back filling the driveway, no longer to we have to parachute from the pavement to the site.

It can be seen above that the new driveway has nearly got to where it needs to.

Front steps looking like steps.

The house side of the driveway, nearly up to the level it needs to be.  On the other side of this wall is a 15 foot drop.

An old photo to highlight how much the work at the front has evolved.
