Big big impact made on the embankment by the big big digger. Here it is making easy work of a tree stump, somewhere near the middle of where the annex will be.
The embankment is being excavated back to one meter behind the rear wall of the annex - to allow for scaffolding. This meter wide space should then be able to take some of the embankment above it as infill, so lessening the severity of the slope.
The centre window at the rear of the tank house has been removed intact. It is proving to be very difficult to remove the section of wall below the window opening, so well built is it. Meanwhile, I have been putting up a scaffolding tower on the other side of the tower to provide access for stone cleaning and patch pointing. The stone is responding well to pressure washing, which is having no damaging effect on the lime mortar - apart from cleaning it. At every turn, the build quality of the tower is amazing.
