Nov 2010 – Ready Steady ... Wait for it


At Last! We’ve cleared the pre-conditions and permission to start the development has come through. There were several last minute spanners in the works - requests for further detail, and details about details. Very frustrating and at times it felt we’d never get there.
Our Builder has meanwhile taken on other work, and who can blame him. And we’re off to Cambodia for 3 weeks in December, and a daughter is due to have her baby in the middle of January. So all in all, we agreed with the Builder the conversion will start at end of January 2011.
Nearly a year since we started and still not a sod has been turned.

Actually, that's not entirely true - we did dig a few trial pits to assess the state of the subsoil - which turned out to be a gravel aggregate rather than clay. And as all self respecting lovers of subsoil will agree, that's good news.
