Services?
OK, so our days of rusty brown water out of the ground are nearly over. I say rusty brown water, but in reality I'm sure it starts off as Evian in an aquifer right below where I now sit, but by the time its been through a few ferrous pipes and an old oil drum it surprises you once a day by coming out the colour of a nice cup of Earl Grey.
Anyway, less of that and more of the fact that Tony, Keith, Chris and all the other guys at DTM have been digging a ditch between us and civilization so we can have mains water. I know this pains me to be paying Severn Trent for water, but if we do install (as I hope) a rainwater harvesting tank then we have reached an acceptable compromise.
With any luck we should be getting a connection first week in March.

More walls, and more importantly; STEELS
Facade now that the doors and the supporting beam are removed.
We have been so lucky with the weather this week, crisp, but sunny, its better than we could have ever expected. Also Mark and Dave (Rob's landscapers) are back, which is great, we've told them that as long as Dave (Artisan Head Builder) is happy they can work here until July if they want to!
