After 25 (working) days since the start of the build, we are finally at ground level. It's a very satisfying feeling - not that I've done any of the hard graft myself - and it now feels like we're getting somewhere. Now that we've gone through the destruction and foundation-laying phases, we're hoping the actual build will feel quick - and I should have lots more progress to share.
The builders actually got to this stage on Tuesday, and then abandoned the build temporarily to allow the concrete to dry. I got around to taking an update photo this evening, and managed to capture the glorious promise of the build at floor level, illuminated in the last warm rays of what has been a glorious Easter weekend.
Onwards and upwards this week (literally!). We need to make a fairly quick decision this week about the windows/exterior doors, and we have 130 trees arriving for the hedge, so we need to arrange a meeting with the farmer who owns the field next door so we can agree a boundary line before we get planting. Am exhausted already... best get back to some planning - over a celebratory glass of Easter wine.
