It’s wet!

Rain, rain go away!

Very little can be done in this weather.  I was hoping to use the new mower as a base to get some branches out of the way before the grass starts growing.   That job will need to wait.

Instead it was an admin and tidying day.   Lee and I planned the next jobs for our transformation including:

  • New kitchen and bathroom
  • My office redecoration
  • Soakaway discussions
  • Electric plans
  • Garden and tree surgery schedule to transform the appearance and simplify maintenance
  • Glass repair (oops)

After the health and safety audit I needed to create some agreements with our various on site partners.   AI came to my aid and the first drafts are now out for review.

I also tried to backfill the trench for the electricity cable.  Have a look at the before and after (it was like smearing cold butter,  however instead of a knife I was using a JCB…).

The rest of this post is about reporting on other people’s work and they have been much tidier than me! Firstly the Simms demolition team who have done an amazing job at removing the old technology to create our now huge grain store.

Retired grain dryer (state of the art 1970’s technology)

Then into the orchard where the tree surgeons have been busy making safe.  More work to be done but it’s amazing just how much wood has come down.

It’s all a bit bare now!  Much safer for our guests.

Also,  it’s sad to say that we said goodbye to George the cat this week.   21 years old and while small he made a big impression and will be missed.
