Mud and holes

Ziggy takes a final glance out of his windowAnd our last supper at nr. 6...The house is now completely empty and ready for handover to the lucky so-and-so's who are going to be the owners of nr. 6 as of Thursday =(((

This is what our new house looks like now!
First, there was a big digger.
It made a big hole, and dug up a bunch of mud.
Lots of it.Then, they put in some wood and steel.And concrete. And more wood.
(But there's still a bunch of mud)So they're going to put in some polystyrene to build our 3 storeys on!
Yep. Nice and strong!
