Busy day today. We went down to see the house this morning. Over the past 2 days th builders have put the frame up for the 1st storey. Very exciting!! We can see how the rooms fit in the house and how the house fits on the land. It will be quite a steep drive up to the garage but it works well for the rear garden.

Then after lunch Jack had his soccer match. Always good to watch. 3 short matches and Jack scored 4 goals (I think).

Now the house has started being built, I wanted to be able to show the progress on the website. So Edward has set up another page on the ‘House’ tab above. On here I will put photos showing how the house is progressing. The newest photos are at the top of the page, the oldest at the end.

We all went to the block yesterday, after Jack’s football match, and it is bout to start the frame work. The concrete foundations are in place, and the brick piers are almost complete. Onto this will be the wooden frame. We cannot have a full brick house as there is a mine tunnel not far under the land surface.

I think, as long as the rain doesn’t start, the progress will be quick from now until the roof is on. A lot of other houses around the estate are on the way. The first owner to start building hopes to move in in about 6 weeks time.
