Mrs. Woody often says that I dig a big hole for myself! However in this case someone else is digging a big hole at WMD HQ as the foundations are dug for the conservatory replacement. They are certainly doing a better job than I could!
Apparently building regulations require the foundations match the original house foundations. Being built on clay I knew they would be relatively deep perhaps 3 foot or so but I wasn't expecting this!
5 foot deep! There is going to be a lot of concrete going into that foundation but hopefully I can rest assured that there will be no subsidence issues in the future.
In the meantime the cats are missing their cat conservatory. Here is Holly looking out in bemusement or maybe she is on guard in case I drop in the hole!
Whilst all this was going on Mr Beecham visited me complete with his latest model a Tiger tank> a fantastic model which I forgot to photograph so I will need to get him to send a photo. He also brought some model railway locos. It turns out his Dad had an n gauge layout which is stored in Mr. B's garage. We talked about the relative merits of n gauge which I had mentioned in a post a few days ago. The biggest is size and just to give an illustration the difference here are two photos showing this clearly. Firstly are two class 33 locos.
Secondly are two Class 08s. This photo clearly shows the detail that digital photography allows as you can see all the gathered dust. Must get the duster out! Model railways need dusting? Never seen that on Mrs W's chore list and probably never will!
