Start of the house build 6.9.10

Almost 2 years to the day since the property was ours the builders and a huge digger moved in to start the foundations, the huge machine made light work of the job and the driver soon set to work cutting through the earth like a hot knife through butter. The whole landscape changed in a couple of hours.

Ready to start with a little mechanical help
