Extension - Site preparation

As some of you already know we have been planning to build an extension out the back of our house for a while now, and finally its about to happen, the builders start in a few weeks. So this weekend I spent preparing the back for the builders arriving, lifting slabs and knocking down the steps at the back door.

I'll keep you posted at key stages as the build progresses, certainly we will find the blogs a good diary of this important project for us.

All we can show of the finished article just now is some of the original plans that we had drawn up last year. The finalised plans are basically the same, only difference is that we decided on an extra 1/2 metre wider and deeper.

The back garden earlier this year.

The back garden tonight following my weekend of destruction.

Jackie and I also went to a 'Bring a party to a party' night on Saturday at the Thistle in Altens with some Rosehearty friends, David & Linda, Karen & Duncan and Vicky & Robbie. Linda keeps an eye out for these sort of nights, and at £18.50 a head for meal, entertainment and bed & breakfast you can't go wrong. Great company, great night out.
