Today was a day for hacking down trees which were over-hanging the pond. The pond is a health hazard when there are children running about so removing the trees and cutting the grass so little people can actually see that the pond exists had to be a priority.
The tree removal also allowed the corner of the site to be seen (at last). Unfortunately, the tree remains are piled high in a heap in the garden and will need removed. My little 6x4 trailer will not be able to carry it in one load. It must be time for the skip.
The remains for last weekend's hacking in the front garden were taken away today. The front still looks messy, but a lot less messy than before.
The real excitement today, however, took place indoors. There is still plenty of "stuff" to sift through and it was while sifting through some old photographs that I came across two fantastic finds. The deeds! And the original house plans!
Oh joy - the architect (when I find one) will be most pleased to have the original plans. This, in effect, gives us the all clear to proceed as failure to find this documents was going to be mightily troublesome.
On the architect front (and builder and solicitor)... I sent an email to those people I have the utmost respect for and asked them for recommendations. I've only had one response so far and it is for the position of builder. I do hope I get recommendations for the other positions soon.
