Completing the planned weekend work!

We completed the goal for the weekend and caught up on Saturdays rain delay. Chris was on site from early morning AM to complete the work with the digger and then I joined in at 11.30am. Both of us stayed until 8pm Sunday evening our only break for lunch!!

Chris did an amazing amount of work in the morning completing the entrance and digging the holes for the Gate posts and had one post up when I arrived so we completed the second post and concrete together. Chris worked on the Digger to continue the entrance work and I got to join in too!!!

In the afternoon I was on the digger to prep for the Shed foundation dig-out which Chris leveled out so hopefully we won't have too much rain for when we need to lay the shed foundations!!

Gates are now up and the area for the shed is ready for the foundation laying work to begin!!!

Breaking through the site

Today was the day to breakthrough the ditch so we could have an opening to the site! Our plan for day 1 was to breakthrough, put in temporary light steel gates so we could secure the site Saturday evening.

We started 9.30 am with breaking through the ditch and discovered an old stone wall with trees and hedging growing out through it and 4m thick on the inside of the field. The weather forecast was for showers which were to clear up in the afternoon/evening. We had misty rain which did stop at lunch time.

Then in the afternoon the heavens opened and did not stop - just when we were completing the entrance and had hoped to dig and lay concrete for the gate posts. The heavy rain meant we were working in a mud pit so had to finish up at 7.40pm. All in all with the extra work clearing the hedging and old stone wall combined with the heavy rain we could not complete everything we needed to complete sat 23rd!!

Roll on completion of these and if we can also clear area for the shed on Sunday 24th :-)
