Spotlight Saturday - update on the build

So, it was all going swimmingly and then this happened ...
This meant that nothing could be done to the build! They were at the stage where the concrete needed to be poured for the foundations so that sure as hell was not going to happen!

Fast forward a week and the snow had melted and the ground had thawed. This arrived...
Then this happened...
And we finally had foundations!
These then had to go off before brickwork could begin. That begin just over a week ago, the day Penny went into hospital to have her tonsils out. When we left it looked like the above photo. When we got back at 5.30pm ...

We could not believe how much they had got done in a day and even though Penny was feeling pretty rough she had to have a look...
Her expression was priceless!

And now, just over a week later, we are here!

It's all getting very exciting! However there is now more snow forecast for this weekend so we are not holding our breath that things will be moving forward quickly next week. Hopefully the snow will either come and go quickly or not come at all! Next week the roof tiles should go on!

I hope you have enjoyed this little update. I'll be back with some more photos soon. Have a great weekend!
