4th August 2010 - The Foundations



I hope that at last we are back on line with the blog. Sorry about the break - it just happened!
Since the last major posting much has happened.
As you can see from the photo the earthworks are more-or-less complete, the surveyor, Rohan Kullin, has laid out the pegs, the foundations marked out and now the men are happily digging away.
The landscaping is progressing under Peter Mako's watchful eye and the rough heaps of soil are beginning to take on gentler shapes. Peter tells me that he will be planting grass which, with plenty of water and fertiliser, will be 'looking better than any lawn' within four months.
Peter B. has been ordering in the concrete for next week and soon the cement and building blocks will be delivered. Peter has been on site every day supervising the progress.
These are exciting times!

There's a dance going on in my back garden, as the earth mover's driver scoops and pours, spreads and combs to build the play ground of Mako's imagination. I keep popping out to watch it is so fascinating.
