The digging has ended....finally




With the area dug out and all levelled the foundations have also been dug out and filled with hardcore. I can not believe the amount of stones, bricks and breeze blocks we have dug out of the small area beneath the old shed. We have filled up a 2 ton bag and we have also made a mound of stones beside it.




There was the small problem of discovering a soak away that was dug umpteen years ago so we have had to bring the greenhouse forward to the edge of the path now. Also in the top left corner there is a massive stone that we have left in place as there is no way it is going to be moved my human methods. Luckily it will not encroach into the space that will be ocupied by the green house.

Greenhouse foundations next




Now the trees are gone, we have to dig out the foundations for the greenhouse, a massive area 18ft x 12ft. It wouldn't be so bad if it was on the flat but the area is on a slope.

The old shed is down and the place looks like a building site!

The Tree Will Hit the Deck

The conifer that has defeated me for the last several days, hit the deck tonight.
