Still have that last meadow to dig. It's putting up a right old fight and my body is not coping well.
Roughly a third is turned ready for seeding. We're still pulling out stones, rubbish - even a steel sprung mattress - from the time when it was just a dumping ground for the people who were housed in the Chapel.
I am getting help from the grandchildren though...
The MVHR (ventilation) tubes have been installed. These are meant to supply fresh air from outside, while retaining the warmth from the extracted stale air. For this to work properly, the house has to be airtight, and that's why there's blue tape over all the joins in the panels. The house will be pressure tested as soon as the windows and doors are in, which is set to begin at the end of this month. Can't wait to see what they look like.
We've taken to spending time there of an evening around a fire pit with a beer or two, dreaming of actually living in this special place. It's only weeks away now and for once I want the summer to pass quickly. Here's Lyn's foot on one such evening..
