Our latest project is in front of the cottage. The driveway, in its current state, presents a variety of problems. The previous owner's DIY job extends into the street as a treacherous bump. At the top of the drive, it goes above the damp course and is causing a damp issue in our bedroom wardrobe.
Then there's the retaining wall in front. Part of it is leaning out and in danger of collapsing, so that's being done as well. And the final project is damp proofing the entry porch to correct an efflorescence problem that is blowing the paint off the walls!
The cows were curious about the digger bucket until the JCB dropped a load of concrete into the dump truck, which made them scatter!
Digging up the slab that overlaps the road. The bowlers will be glad that it's gone. The bump has been a menace to many a player!
Lowering the driveway will correct the damp problem.
As you can see, there's never a shortage of projects here at Moonlight Cottage!
