Day 1: The Digger Arrived!

As you might know, we shall be moving into our own house in about four month's time – if all goes well. Today, 2nd January 2013, the digger arrived, and work on the land commenced. The photo above shows the "before" photo of our new home on 30th October 2012.

Our daughter's comment was that it looks just like Daddy's LEGO digger, and it really is very similar, but fortunately quite significantly bigger than the model.

The jobs ahead are removing trees, excavating top soil, compacting, pipe laying, electricity cabling, filling with gravel, frost insulation. Timetable? Needs to be done by Friday. Ouch. Let's go!
