Building - I hope!

The building inspector has just signed off the excavation at the front which means the builders can start filling the foundations with concrete and (please!) start bricklaying soon. A huge order of bricks arrived from Jewsons this lunchtime which I am taking as an indication that we might have some walls soon. Knocking down the garage has opened up a view from the front door which hasn't been seen for 40 years - instead of looking down a long dark tunnel you can actually see the rather attractive houses opposite. I am trying not to get too wildly excited about the prospect of having windows at the front of the house but it's been a long time...!
