We broke Craig, but all holes filled!

Poor "oranges" they worked their arse's off filling all the holes on one final push and one long day! They finished in the dark, Craig said the next day that we had broken him.

How many "oranges" none working though as should be wearing high vis vests and helmets!
Here is Rich playing with his vibrator...



Plastic chair in place already to take in the view!


We now have a flat space again and Irene and Jose came yesterday to draw nice little blue lines. The thin blue line is a marker for the inside wall of cement that we have to now make as a base wall for the straw bales to sit on. We will be collecting wooden shuttering this week as the cement will be mixed again next Tuesday.

I think you can now make out the layout of the rooms. This closest corner is the kitchen with the curved wall of the dining room, then open plan to the lounge. The small room in the far outer corner is the bedroom. Behind that the bathroom, with a walk in closet. Off the kitchen we will have a larder. With a wooden porch out the front and small internal courtyard at the back I really think this little house will keep me busy and happy for a few years to come.

Simon the joiner and good mate is leaving the UK on the 15th December so less than 3 weeks and the timber frame will be started. He is bring over all his tools which will save us alot of money and behind him will be our horse trailer.
