The Build is On!

Saturday May 14th 2016
It seems like eternity to reach this moment.  A point which during the Building Consent process I thought was some sort of mythical stage, up there with Unicorns and such like.  I am actually witnessing the start of the building of my house.  There are diggers working away and fellas scurrying around with tape measures, it is actually happening!  Having to rub my eyes a bit in disbelief.
What is even more unbelievable is that the builder has started 2 weeks early, completely unprompted, and there's more, they are working on the weekend... yes I know... I think I just saw a  Unicorn gallop past, as it is more believable!



View of the site when I rocked up on a Sat afternoon to cut the grass!

This wasn't on the plan, looks like we will have to put a retaining wall in.

The site will never look this clean again.
