Today was another hard day's labouring. The bulker skip that was filled over the weekend was removed from the site and replaced with an empty skip. The second shed came down after much huffing and puffing and the two sheds combined managed to fill the second skip (with the help of some internal doors, carpets and other bits and bobs.
With the spiralling cost of skips starting to make our original budgets looking quite pathetic, it was time for some DRASTIC action. The trees and branches that had been taken down to provide access to the site were piled up in the back garden and a match set to them.
The result? A fantastic bonfire that burned for seven hours!
Without my brother, I wouldn't be anywhere close to having a cleared site but as it stands, the house is almost empty, the ponds have been drained, the sheds removed and most of the "overgrowth" dealt with.
