Workshop Progress Report - Making a Start

After many months waiting for architectural and engineering drawings to be finalised, as well as owner/builder registration, Worksafe certification and the processing of various permit applications, I can finally begin construction of my strawbale workshop. In the picture below, I have marked out the ground in readiness for the excavation of more than 80 stump holes. Given the expense of hiring a digging machine, I'm hoping that this can be completed in a couple of days!

Lutherie will most definitely be the furthest thing from my mind in the months ahead, but I'll post the occasional building progress report as a record I can look back on, and for anyone else interested. Cheers Pete
