Up from the depths..not quite 30 storeys high

So progress is now being made on the house. After what seemed an age of it being just a bare plot, then just a big hole in the ground there now appears, rising up from the depths, some foundations with the shape of a house on top. Finally it begins to take shape which is more of a relief for the children who thought we might be living in a field for a while... Taken just last Sunday (29th April - Andy's 40th!) this is what we have so far -

This is a view of the front looking towards the back. Facing sort of westish I think, I will check on the compass bearing and report back.

Today saw further progress in the sale agreement with us visiting our solicitors to sign paperwork etc. Now comes the hard part of departing with our deposit for what is essentially a pile of bricks in a hole !!

It's progress though and we're happy with that...

More soon...
