The builders seem to be moving quickly now. The track is in and the preparation for the house foundations has begun.
We’ve been lucky that they haven’t hit hard rock when digging the foundations. Just shale. We know that there’s an outcrop of what we think is Lewissian Gneiss just a few metres away from where the house is being positioned, which would have required blasting at great effort and expense..
The conduits are in for water and electricity, although connection of both services may be quite a slow process as SSE and Scottish Water both have significant backlogs due to Covid-19 and are not prioritising new connections as essential.
Next week the substructure build begins.

This is a great landmark, hopefully you can get up and have a nosey round soon.
Well done.

Thankyou. Hoping early September – that’s likely to be the earliest with work commitments.

Was there a house on your croft before? It would be interesting to find the foundations and compare the positioning if there was.

No, it’s there’s never been a house there as far as we can tell. I think the croft used to belong to another house in the village many many years ago, and has been used for sheep grazing ever since.
