It was quite difficult getting the last of the ridge tiles because modern ones are totally different to the traditional old ones that are on. Most builder's merchants only stock the new type. I managed to find second hand ones at a reclamation yard in Kinellar.The Polish workers set off back home on Sunday morning. They have quite a drive ahead of them as they were catching a ferry from Dover. They would then presumably have to drive across the continent from Dunkirk to Poznan in Poland.
Excavations were started for the huge hole in the garden. I can now hire out my lawn to film makers for WWII films.
The spoil heaps are huge
The hole itself is going to be quite impressive when its finished. I shall have to throw someone down there to give a sense of scale.
Phil became a very happy man when Tony let him have drive of the digger.

We have also discovered that the ground level outside the kitchen is considerably lower than we had thought.
This means that the hole inside the kitchen where the pipes will come in has to be correspondingly lower
