It is about 5 months since the first bit of digging began on the site.
The house building has progressed quite well considering we did it all through the winter.
The weather and Christmas caused a few delays - so we have been quite lucky to get this far in 5 months.
The next important stage is the internal plastering . Then the electrician and plumber will be coming back to do their second fixes. The concrete ground floor will then be layed - followed by the outside drains and paths. We still haven't chosen a waster treatment plant - the man from Bord Na Mona had to be put off for a day - and he never got back to arrange another date.
I was looking at these sewage treatment plants months ago - and had a few leaflets and a couple of site visits. I am not impressed with most of them - they just want to give everyone the same - but they should be advising on the suitable system and percolation area for each unique site.
I will have to make a choice after Easter.

Congrats on all your progress. My wife and I have been following your site from over here in the States--fun to see a house-related blog from Ireland!
We'd love to point out your site on our houseblogs site--would you mind?
No problem - point it out as much as you like. Thanks.
