So maybe the timing hasn't been brilliant, and maybe the noise of a pneumatic drill breaking up concrete isn't exactly conducive to work, but today saw the beginning of work on our back yard that's been in the planning stages for years. I don't think we ever genuinely believed this would happen. The back terrace has been slowly sinking since well before we bought the house; the cracks in the concrete slowly widening - or not so slowly recently: the heavy rains have made the subsidence even more obvious. We're now looking at ten weeks' worth of construction - and then landscaping work after that, but this is exciting ...
As you can see, the crew made extraordinary progress today. The netting rather prevents us going down the garden, so one would have to take a circuitous route to reach the area in which I've temporarily rehomed some plants, but I rather like this little reading oasis.
The rebuilding looks to be off to a great start! And how are the kitties doing in the midst of all this noise?
ReplyDeleteso far, so completely unconcerned ... (though unlike us, they're not trying to do teaching prep)
ReplyDeleteThey're champs. And so are you! I bet you can waltz in with zero extra prep and have a great conversation.
