Pointing, Planters and Pagodas

It's all getting busy on site in preparation for our launch. It may look like we have a way to go, but all of this is underway:



  • We've built our planters, ready to be put into position and filled with the green waste from the site

  • Our canopy (ok it's not a pagoda, but I wanted the title to alliterate) is here and ready to be assembled

  • The repointing of our main wall is underway

  • Our electric supply has been connected to the site

  • The new gate is being built

  • The brambles and weeds have been cleared. Then cleared again. Then cleared some more. We shall be victorious!


Expect to see big changes in the coming weeks :)


We Have a Floor!

Look at this lovely floor! It's made such a huge difference seeing the first big piece of our 3D puzzle being installed.


Floor and Wall Prep

Prep work for the floor and walls is underway, making sure this will be a strong, dry and comfortable space year round.


Now we're really starting to get a feel for the scale of the site, and the enormous potential we have here!


A Big Mound of Earth and a Lot of Hands

Those of you who have happened by might have seen that our yard has transitioned from a "big pile of mess" to "various separate piles of mess" thanks to our lovely team of helpers.


We've now sorted out the timber for keeping, the timber and rubble for recycling, the green waste for the planters, and the nice stones for a future rockery.


We're saving everything we can here - if it can have a future life on the site then we'll make sure that happens.


And We're Naked!

The roof's come off! Which means that the site is no longer a hazard (well, not too much anyway). Now we can really see the condition of the full site, and finalise plans for the development.


Next jobs will be underpinning the back wall, tanking, and laying the new internal floor. We're also going to keep clearing the yard, and are going to build some massive planters to make use of all the soil and green waste on site. We never want to dump what can be used again :)
