The Levels

We now have a fairly big hole in the ground which gives us the ability to drop the surrounding levels of the yard to the same level as the house. Up until now the house was built and left to sit in a hole. When the garage is finished we'll have everything on the same level so getting in and out of the house will be much easier with Jake and his pram. This gives us an opportunity to design then landscape the area around the house, we're finding the design side of things really hard to do. The spoils from the concrete yard will help form a track into the field. Some of the excavated earth will form banks to offer wind protection for the growing areas.

We boarded up the neighbours to keep things tidy.
