Oooh can I come and play! I've always wanted to have a go on a digger, it's on my bucket list (already crossed off the cherry picker). Make sure it's got the noisy reversing klaxon, pay back the noisy neighbours. It must gladden the heart to finally be 'doing' and seeing the results.
RE: The build - Small chilli - 05-10-2020
I’m always happy to have volunteers
.When we have our generator running later in the process, that’ll drown out the child
. I’m very happy to finally be doing something.
Really looking forward to the weekend. We’ll have a slight bigger entrance to our plot. Not the proper one but considerably better than walking the plank
which is what we do at the moment.
RE: The build - Veggie - 05-10-2020
SC, how did you feel when you stepped onto your land for the first time after it was truly yours?
Did you skip around, waving your arms about and shouting "Its mine, all mine?".
Just wondering...........as that's what I did.
RE: The build - Small chilli - 05-10-2020
To be honest it still hasn’t really sunk in! As it’s taken so long. I still feel a like odd not having to ask before we do anything on the land.
But I do on occasion put on my very best posh person voice “ I own land on the Isle of Mull you know”
RE: The build - Veggie - 05-10-2020
I can "hear" you , SC - perfect diction.
RE: The build - Small chilli - 10-10-2020
A very busy day today. Dug lots of drainage ditches. Well Bob did most of it. But I did a little bit. I did lots of strimming. The most exciting thing we’ve upgraded the entrance

Lots of water drained off the plot! There’s lots more to go.
