Solar Water Power

The plumbers have been in for nearly a week now fitting a new central heating system and solar water heating. It's very very hot in the roof space. They must have lost a couple of stone in sweat!

Joe and I work all day

Joe and I  finished laying about a ton of concrete today. Hard work in this heat!

The base is prepared

Joe and Kara are coming for the weekend so I have hired a concrete mixer, and prepared the base ready for some back braking work.

I'm told England are playing Germany today, hence the patriotic sun hat!

The weather forecast for the weekend is 'hot', 'very hot', and 'getting hotter'!

I understand we lost to Germany 4:1. Never mind, we made a good start.

Now for the footings!

Although I am going for a concrete floor I am putting in extra depth footings for the walls. Perhaps it's OTT but who cares? I have loads of rubble from the destroyed pond!

The work continues

The tree surgeon did a good job stump grinding the tree roots, but we are digging even deeper than he could go!

Beginning work on the Man Room

The First job is to remove about 2 tons of soil to bring the ground down to floor level. Lorna wasn't the only one working but someone has to take the photo's!

Who are we?

I thought I had better put up our road number where people could see it.
