Another load of boxes – another trip to our lock-up unit in Levin. We were lucky to beat the rain on the 100km trip up. In went boxes of books, crates of glassware, tools and a shelving unit. I had been worried that we might be running out of space, but there is still plenty of room left. There will certainly be enough room to fit the furniture in when we bring it up in a week or two.
Still lots of room left
Kathryn came with us for the day, and this gave her the chance to have a look at Dot and Derek’s new home – incidentally in the same village where we are building our new house. After we had enjoyed a lovely lunch we took a short walk to see what was happening on our little piece of land. The top soil has been removed and the plot has been levelled and pegged out.

Reinforcing mesh to be used in the concrete floor
There’s not a great deal to see, but it is a start, and that’s exciting! Robin spoke to a couple of builders working on an adjacent house, and they confirmed that they would be laying our concrete floor shortly. “You had better do a good job”, he told them. I don’t think they were too worried, though.
