Busy time at Ford Park

Hello out in blog land, funny how blogger doesn't recognise blog or blogger as a proper word, don't you think.

Any way what's happening.

Well lets see, I suppose the main thing that's going on in my little sphere of the planet is the massive changes that are going on in Ford Park with the project that is the coach house renovation. The place is undergoing a massive transformation with diggers and dumper trucks flying backwards and forwards creating mountains of earth and stone being dumped on the fields of Ford Park. The contractors have torn the old roof timbers off and replaced main and hip beams, they're the beams on the corners, as the old roof was pretty much rotten. Not something which we had planned for, so a bit of a hit on the contingencies. They've dug out a massive hole where the new extension will be, and this week they laid in the new drains and poured concrete for the foundations. Yesterday they had marked out the walls so we cant be far away from seeing the first bricks being laid. The old coach house itself, looks like a derelict building with walls ripped out but in a week or two we'll probably be seeing this taking shape as well. All very exciting stuff after 12 years of trying to make something happen, it all happens at once. New car park, with grass-crete finish, and in June we'll be seeing a new natural play area being sculptured at the top of the fields, using the spoil from the excavations around the coach house. Yep, a busy time at Ford Park.
