It's Wednesday afternoon, the 30th of January, and today we have lift-off. This is the week of first action, and indeed, people have been busy. My village spies tell me that men have been spotted on site putting new, bigger pegs on site marking out the final house boundaries, and we now have clear corners and demarcation lines. On top of this, the diggers were busy out there this morning, playing around with the temporary power box and cable lines, and now the electrician has rung to get us to authorise a temporary builder's connection with our regular power company so electricity will be ready on site for the builders. Everything is expected to come together for Monday. Sorted.
It's hard being at work in Christchurch while these first exciting steps are being taken - the Woodbury site is an hour and a half away by car - but with any luck we'll be able to visit on Wednesday next week, which is Waitangi Day and so a national holiday. All going well, we'll zoom down for a look on Wednesday and see progress for ourselves. Can't wait. The weather is playing its part as well - the lovely settled warm weather is holding, and we can't ask for more than that. I just hope north is still where we left it.

Note from a village spy; there's also a container and a portaloo on site. The question is, which one is the site office???
