Day 89 - Asbestos

While removing the upstairs walls the builders have found some patches of asbestos.



They're happy to remove it if we can take it to the dump - seems it's easier/cheaper for us to get dispose of toxic waste than them!

Day 4 - Branded a Fool

I wasn't at home today, early start and late back from an exhausting trip to Shrewsbury. But I arrived back to find we'd been branded!





Ignoring all the safety and hard hat warnings I grabbed some more pics...

The footings are looking very deep now



That's an old water pipe across the channel - not sure if it's live or not so it's staying put.




The digging has exposed a layer of asbestos!

Thankfully it's going to be covered by the concrete and so doesn't have to be removed. Presume it's from the previous single house that was on the plot.
