"Wilf Burton" visits Warren Cottage Feb 2012

Wilf Burton came to Warren Cottage Sunday March 4th 2012, he's an architect.

We first met him during a meeting with "Westwind" in Feb 2012, the company who make OAK framed buildings.  Rupert who owns Westwind suggested that Wilf could help us come up with a design for Warren Cottage

 The weather wasn't good for a site visit, strong winds and horizontal rain, but he battled with the elements and made the drive up from Bristol on a "SUNDAY!"  We were really chuffed to see him and keen to hear/see any ideas he had to design a house we could afford to build out of oak!

February 2009 - Road building !!!

Feb 2009, I was so happy, track re-surfacing had commenced 12hr days starting and finishing in the dark, loved it!

Track dug out, layer of white Teram, Layer of crushed concrete, then layer of lovely black road planings

Guy does all the digging and spreading of concrete and planings

White membrane called Teram stops the concrete being driven down into the soft mix of soil and chalk

At the bottom of the Byway it's looking like major roadworks are taking place...it's hard to believe it's just GUY and ME!!

Karina (me) on the digger

Safety first!!

It was 700m of Byway we had to dig out and remove soil from!

Guy about to dump his load!

All aboard!

I never did ride this roller, it felt way to uncontrollable downhill!
