Good progress. It will be exciting to see some walls going up, foundation and prep work always takes so long.

Indeed. A milestone is reached when any build makes it out of the ground, but this one keeps getting deeper!

You know I mentioned recycled rubble well I meant every one elces rubbish just dumped on the drive. I wasn't flipping joking its arrived and I recon more like 20 tonnes god damn recyclers what on earth am I going to do with all that. Even Isabel came to have a look. Any one want any rubble. Free. Isabel ell came to help Doug the digger well offer support it's been a right laugh because the 2 cv is in the way and Barry barratt the dumper only just with 4 inches to spare passes the cv note the slope on the drive then past the cv and then down to the shed base all with no brakes and a hand brake working on 1 pad and no ratchet in the leaver so it won't stay on at all. It's a bit of a launch and hope for the best all with rear wheel steer it's what's called character building . it least it's still on its wheels isabel being helpful

Next up is spreading the rubbish about a bit. Then getting out the whacker plate firing that up will be fun. I am sure any one got a name for it that's printable. I can only think of rude names as it vibrates like a ...... On steroids. Turn the revs up and it's off if you have ever used one. It's yellow and a beast names please .

Blimey, that's a pile and a half! Always fancied having a go of one of those shaker plates. Looks good fun plus you get a workout at the same time.

You lot come on you can do better than that. He is going to be called roger as in roger rabbit cos it bounces or it's like a rabbit ie vibrates unles you can come up with a cleaner alternative. Any way a bad day Tonight I got stuck in clearing my pile. I managed to whack Isabel with the bucket just a glancing blow knocked filler out of the front wing by the head light it could be worse. It's ne'er to rust bubbles which are probably holes any way any way then I blew a hose or I think I have that supplies the left track motor. I hope is not a joint in the slew or the drive motor itself it could always be the lever valve. I won't know till I investigate but it's a set back and I am in the office at work tomorrow which means an early start and late finish as it's an hour and half drive each way. That means it will be dark when I get home and I will be fed up from a day with my boss need I say more. To sum it up bashed Isabel fubared my digger again and got to much rubble by about 6 tones and no way to move it. And to top it off only 1 litre of cider left. Talking of cider . Our latest craze is get the old scrumptious scrumpy cider and bung it in the freezer for 4 hours so it's like slush gulp down I litre and let it melt in your tummy Devine . I knew as a kid I shouldn't have had all those cider barrel lollies .

Ooh, cider barrel lollies, whatever happened to them? Yes, an unfortunate turn of events. Stay chipper, it'll soon be the weekend....
