The finished product
|
Our first mini project is complete! We now have a driveway and no longer need to park the cars on the road - perhaps not the most exciting project to organise and oversee, but we are so excited. The condition of our purchase has now been completed, the japanese knotweed experts were happy with the work and we will no longer experience our wing mirrors being knocked off by inconsiderate drivers, who don't even stop!
Here are the pictures of the journey:

| Chris - just trying out the digger! Don't worry, I have put the keys away safely! |

| Precarious lifting to remove bags of contaminated waste |
So now, we can focus on the inside of the house. The dropped kerb of course is a separate matter, and I learnt to my detriment that driving up a steep kerb would do no good for the underside of my car as I heard it scrape the pavement each time. So there was more waiting to be done and as ever, nothing was straightforward. More bureaucracy and complications of moving BT boxes and mains water taps - but we got there in the end!
