A breakthrough!

Yay, we've found a floor!  We had a lovely surprise when we dug under where the oil barrels were and discovered a stone floor.  On the down side it meant that there was actually alot more rubble and earth to move than we had first thought because the floor is substantially lower inside than out.  There were two options either hire a mini digger and scrape it all out or dig it out by hand.  We had to go for the second option, at least I could get on with it during W's naps.

So finally, barrow after barrow, we have cleared it.  By hand.  Have a look now.


And this was some of the stuff we pulled out;




It looks like my donkpon will have a shelter after all.  And thanks to the children collecting hay they shouldn't get too hungry on the journey either;


10 days to go.....................
