Building Project: Painful Piles

Onlookers might have been forgiven for thinking we were drilling for oil on our land, but in fact this was a crucial part of the new building – hammering steel piles deep into the ground to strengthen the foundations.

Our stage 1 building warrant has now been issued, just in time for the groundworks to begin! Graham Irvine’s team have been “scraping” the site, and the piling mat has been put down – effectively a layer of hardcore to take the weight of the piling machines. Additionally, the lamp post at the entrance to [ more… ]

A baby shower was held for Morag on February 15th, and we all had a lovely time drinking tea, eating cakes and sandwiches and taking part in Emma and Moira’s excellent quiz which featured song clips with the word ‘baby’ in them.  We showered Morag with some pampering gifts for herself, and a few wee [ more… ]
