Lights, water, action!

Things are rocking along now! We have power to the site (the nice power company just needs to flip the switch), water comes out of a hose pipe and the telephone line is in. And it has all been buried! Here's the proof (you can even see the filled-in trench):



Yeah, it is a pretty exciting photo.

The steel reinforcing is in, ready for the footings. We are just waiting for the DCC inspector. If you look at the photo below carefully, you'll be able to see our meterbox sitting nicely in the middle of the site - by our future front door. Regan and Jeromy have been laying the electrical cables, and putting in the meter box. They have been down there in all weather. The first time they tried, it rained overnight and the site was a massive clay pit.

That photo is taken approximately from the second bedroom in the house. The biggest hole down front is Regan's garage. And check out our pretty gravelled drive way:

Once we have the okay from the Council, the footings go in and then its on to the concrete blockwork for the basement.
