Today was a great day - John came this afternoon and we set out the four corners of the house. Very precise. We now have four little posts in the ground with a nail in each and we have to tend them carefully from now until when the foundations are put in.

Also yesterday I went ot the Ecobuild Conference in Earls Court where I had a great time - beats shopping in Oxford Street any day. I spoke with, amongst others, two wall structure blokes, a solar panel bloke, a solid ground floor bloke (the ground floor not the bloke) and a guy with a scheme for bringing in outside air, taking the heat out of it, collecting all the heat together and heating your water.

Also lots of freebies, nice food, entertainment. Kate was there too in her official Southern Housing Group role. We couldn't get into the seminar we wanted, on zero carbon, it was packed out with a queue.


Anyway, here's a photo of the guys surveying - it had took a long time and it had got a bit dark by the time I took it - but we managed with the aid of an Anglepoise and two torches. The photo shows John peering through the theodolite and R holding the torch.

More news soon - I think we'll be making a lot of decisions in the next week or two.
