 |
| Every man and their dog.. and their cravat! .. at the site meeting |

 |
| Ray, the site foreman, and underpin hole no.2 inside the house (ex-dining room) |
 |
| ah, those will be holding up the back of the house then : / |
 |
| ah ok, so that is definitely the deepest hole so far... |
 |
| supporting the rear of the house : / |
 |
| Yeh Ray I know that is a big hole, you don't need to point it out it is scary enough |
 |
| Excavations and, er, building a wee jetty. and er, what's going on with that ladder then..? |
 |

 |
| old chimney stack pulling away from rear of house : / |
 |
