Extending the Entrance and Moving some of the stone


Friday afternoon, the track was fixed so Chris got back on the digger to finish extending the entrance and making enough room for lorries to enter and turn.

Cold, wet and miserable we continued. Once the entrance was wide enough and straightened out we then set about moving the 4o tons of hardcore stone from the site next door and dumping onto the entrance.
This time I was on the digger and Chris on the dumper... he could handle it way better than I :-) We worked through the afternoon and managed to move piles of stone onto our new extended entrance.

So by evening we had completed the entrance and managed to shift about 10 tons of the stone into piles at the entrance. We were pretty tired and cold so headed home for food around 6pm with the aim of being up bright and early Saturday to complete the moving of the stone and leveling it.
John Barry, Tanya's brother helped out too which was great so Chris & Tanya could head out to get some materials!!!
