Also with the size of your drive you wanna get black plastic down and dump soil etc and get a grab lorry . I pay £120 for 10 tons taken away so half the cost of a skip hire.
Lovely house , you thought about rendering the stone work as I think it will bring it bang up to date and maybe change the arched window?
Good luck and keep us up to date with the build

Cheers paul
yes its not cheap but need must digger was the only way to go as its about 60tones hes had to remove

to late for a grab lorry now as its all taken away

wont be rendering the house as we dont like it and it wouldn't look right with all the other houses

arch window will be done at some point but other things to do before that
