Monday 6 February 2012 - Week 2

What a day!

Noise, noise noise and even more noise.

I remember when Beth was a little baby. Sometimes she cried and cried, to such an extent, that even when she'd stopped, you could still hear the sound of her crying in your head. 

It was like that today, but only with the drill thing, the builders were using to break up the concrete base of the porch. It was right outside the front door for most of the day. What a lovely sound when the builders had their lunch break. May be more noise tomorrow because at the end of play today, 'only' the top 6 inches of concrete had been removed. The concrete that's now visible has been reinforced with thick metal rods. 

Was going to do lots more packing of boxes. But I couldn't hear myself think. So ended up not doing any at all. Must really get started. We have only packed up the conservatory, porch and under the steps. These are the dumping areas for the stuff that we don't use that often if at all. 

My head is in a bit of a spin, just thinking about juggling packing up the house and preparations for our little two week jaunt. Only 7 weeks on Sunday.

The idea is while we are away, then the builders can crack on with some of the internal work.

You can just see how much concrete has been removed by the step down from the front door. It was previously completely level.
