The Green Green Grass of Home

Nature has a way of emphasising delay, especially here!  The inevitable first practical stage of our building work was ground clearance and bringing the challenging site to accurately specified levels.  Then digging foundations.

This produced a good deal of spoil in the form of massive boulders, clay subsoil and topsoil.   These three elements were skilfully segregated and stored on site awaiting planned replacement to create what we hope will be a very beautiful garden.

Meanwhile mother nature has rolled up her sleeves and the topsoil mound especially has blossomed:

I had a nightmare last night during which Triffids had taken over the site.   I may just tackle the topsoil mound in the way that farmers do so that Jim the digger driver can at least see it! then put it, and the boulders back on the banking.   This, besides restoring my sleep pattern will enable access to The Sidings entrance for large deliveries of construction components.

Those heavy and bulky items need to be got into place on top of the steelwork somehow.   I have a cunning plan . . . . .
