New House at St Michaels

This is the mobile home we have had for six  years


In late May we separated the two halfs and moved it to Wigley Orchard - leaving a concrete pad which had to be broken up and carted away and the site clear for builders to start work on 19/6/2017

  After  the first week the trenches were open and ready for concrete
   

 Unfortunately, the trench nearest the hedge did not comply with the insurer and had to be excavated a further metre deep. This led to the concrete pouring being delayed until 28th June.  We prayed for dry weather overnight as the extra depth of the trench was finding water. More water would have caused problems. Although it did rain - it was not much so our praying must have worked.
This is the story so far  - to be continued 
28June 2017 - concrete has arrived - and they are going back for more
