It was very cold overnight with a heavy ground frost this morning and even the bird-bath that I put out in the summer was frozen solid. Luckily the water in my caravan was still running, though, but there were no signs of the two intrepid builders who have been turning up like clockwork for the last few days.<\/p>\n
When I went up to the site I wasn’t surprised. For the last few days they’ve always left a few things behind when they’ve departed for the evening but today there was nothing, so obviously they knew that they wouldn’t be returning today. I’m not too concerned as I understand the builder’s problems with having to keep several sites ticking over. However, it has turned into a beautiful day again and it’s unfortunate that it will be lost when, if the forecast is to be believed, we have several more grim ones coming our way with low temperatures and rain.<\/p>\n
I’m occupied working on other things but I hope that this won’t become a regular occurrence now that building work proper has started. At this time of the year if too many good days are missed, there will be a real prospect of missing the target 12-month completion data. When I look back to when the builders were last on site, at the end of July, if they had continued on from that date there would have been enough time to have completed the house by now. That thought does make me rather annoyed \ud83d\ude10<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
