Oscar is getting very excited about the new house. He loves to tell people that a bulldozer is going to come and smash our house down and that we are going to live in a little house while we build a new one. Today he told me what we needed to have in the house:
Bathroom
Toilet
Play roon
Basketball place
Cricket place
Obviously he has some supporting aspirations! He later told us the house needed to have grass on the roof – too much Grand Designs I think.
We’re coming into a lovely weekend so the plan is to start tackling the salvage of the garden today. It’s sad to see all our hard work being pulled up, but exciting to make a start at the same time.
With Oscar’s birthday out of the way, we can now start work to salvage our garden. We will save anything that can be dug up / removed / potted and put aside until the construction is over and we can start the garden from scratch again:
Plants
Sleepers
Soil
Pebbles and stones
Pavers
Oscar has already made a start.
I’m not sure how long it will take him to move all the soil in that truck. Lucky he got a Bulldozer for his birthday!
