Things have been a little quiet over the last few days hence I have not had much to say here, the plans have been submitted and we are eagerly waiting for their approval. We can not wait to get stuck in to the self build proper.
In the meantime I have turned my attention to the garden and have decided that I really need to get the back field sorted, it is very overgrown with huge brambles, very uneven with lot's of tree stumps dotted all over the place and there is still two huge piles of trees, all in all much to much work to do by hand.
As my little John Deere ride on tractor cannot cope with the garden lawn let alone the field I have decided to take the plunge and get a tractor.
I have looked at loads and I have decided on a second hand Kubota st30 compact tractor, this particular Kubota comes with a front loader and backhoe so whilst I am not even contemplating tackling the main house footings there is masses of other work for it including the footings for the front wall, trenches for the drains and cables, dig out the drive and soak away etc etc.
I am also being reminded by the kids that a few jumps for their motocross bikes will make the back field area even more interesting.
Good to see plenty of regular visitors but it would be great to have some contributions for some of you!
Until next time!!
