We noticed soon after we had purchased Waterloo Farm that the downpipe from the existing kitchen was not actually taking the water away from the house, but it was just ‘appearing’ out of a brick in the house! We then discovered that the drain was totally blocked with mud and silt. We had hoped that a simple ‘rodding’ of the drain would fix it, but this proved impossible so we only had one choice, to dig it up! So on Saturday afternoon Liam and Lee were back, and very helpfully with a shiny JCB!
Much better weather today saw the work to the entrance of the driveway continue. The brickweave started and it really looks great! Liam Lambert, one of the brothers of GSD Lambert and Sons Ltd, has been laying it, which I gather is something of a change from his usual day job – check out who is the JCB No.1 Operator for 2008!! I shall pull his leg next time I see him!
