Swimming pools and windows to nowhere
Rain rain go away - come again another day...
Not much has been going on with seventy odd millimetres falling in the last two days. Actually, a few things have been going on - some better than others.
On a brighter note, the new windows and doors turned up today. It's a pity they don't have anywhere to go at the moment. They look a little forlorn in the garage. It was pretty wet when they were unloading them but at least Owen and I could just supervise from the safety of the garage. It's a pity that the delivery guys slightly damaged the bottom of one of the frames when they were unloading. It was only a minor chip and Owen reckons he can repair it easily so we didn't send it back. On the bright side, at least we their delivery wont hold up construction - whenever that begins!
Oh well, it all means more time for me to research the various products that we will need to start ordering in the near future.

On the downside, the site is looking more like a swimming complex than an extension at the moment. The trenches have a bit of water in the bottom of them and the newly cleaned out septic tank is starting to look like a plunge pool. Owen said the engineer might be coming around today to have a look at the footings as the soil is a little different to what he expected. I hope he's bringing his snorkel!
How the septic should look. The hole in the bottom is where the footing will go through the bottom.
How the septic looks now - despite a big hole in the bottom of it!
