    I'm now 100% sure that one day Zigs is going to build a shed, in which his entire house will fit! :smt005

    On my return from shopping this afternoon, I had to back into our drive, carefully avoiding a skip parked in the road opposite our house. Our crescent is quite narrow.
    It looks like the owners of the house are going to have an extension, as workmen have filled that with rubble and another skip arrived this morning, was parked in their drive and they are filling it with soil.
    They have the left-hand house of the two semis. There's another extension being built onto the left-hand house of two semis next to them and a third one on the left-hand set of two semis next to those!
    The problem is going to be parking, as the owners all have more than one car. Fortunately, they aren't there during the day as they're probably at work. But there's a lot vans, parked all day and big trucks arriving delivering materials, so it's all a bit chaotic and sometimes difficult to get out of my drive.
    As is common with these small building projects, the contactors will be working on more than one job at the same time. So on some days, there's no work being done on one or other of them, at all. So the inconvenience will last longer than necessary.
