Start date - Monday 14th 2012

We all met up yesterday on a cold damp May afternoon at the Ropewalk a far cry from the sunshine and warmth of that week in March. Monday 14th May there will finally be builders at The Ropewalk. Still it's been agreed that Garry and Dave are going to project managed up until the shell has been built where Andrew will take over. Very soon I may actually have some interesting images to post rather than ones of a tatty garden. Depending on the weather this bank holiday weekend we may try and burn the huge pile of branches in the first real attempt to clear the site. Things to do include talking to Celtic Solar - after lots of debate we're going to have a cheaper back boiler rather than a gasifier which will be connected to the thermal store which in turn will be also connected to solar thermal panels. I'll see about PV panels. I think it makes sense to use the one recommended companyI just hope they can come up this far. Talk to farmer John Griffen to book him to move any soil into the old archery field at Mill on the Brue.
