erecting polytunnel

Another of those 'nearly there' posts.

Here's the team in action on Sunday, preparing ground, barrowing away mountains of roots and building the frame for the polytunnel.

Sadly, ran out of time for stretching plastic over the hoop frame and that will have to wait until next weekend now - weather and wind permitting!!

Great work team!!

you probably already know this but we found the best tools for easing the polythene into place were brooms with rags tied over the bristles - you can lift and move the polythene without damaging it. All the best for a still weekend.

So, now you nearly have somewhere to live on site whilst you build your new home! Or for putting up visitors from "down south"
