Well, not quite to the stage we expected but most of the lower courses of brickwork have been completed. Unfortunately we were short of one lintel so the area that forms the porch has yet to be done.
Jan and I spent yesterday and today clearing the hedgerow of dead wood and pruning back the trees/shrubs. We have added nearly 10 foot more garden with the clearance as the hedgerow has encroached more and more on the garden in recent years.
Gill and Pete from number 5 had trimmed their hedgerow last weekend so we had a grand bonfire today. The heat was so intense from the leylandii that even the green cuttings disappeared in minutes.
Next Tuesday sees the arrival of the concrete beams that form the base for the ground floor. I'm quite intrigued to see how they all fit together, and how they fit the water and waste pipes when the beams are in place.
