Oh my god!!

All the truck drivers have gone, rush all over and done with, or so I thought

I said "Mark fancy a tea?" made the brew just standing there looking at the large hole talking about this and that, then my 6 month old cat shoots out the back door cat flap and jumped into the middle of the cement base!!!

I only just pulled her out by her tail, i had to stand there and Mark hosed her down and then chucked her in the bath....oh what fun!!

Lucky we were out there otherwise it would have been a lost kitten and we wouldn't have know what happened to her!!!

Hope the next stage goes a lot smoother!!

Well I wouldn't have guessed that outcome, what a shock for your cat I have two and they do have a knack of 'getting in the way' at times!

Glad all's well now though, blockwork next I guess!

That's excellent. Once the hole is dug and concrete poured, it starts to look like a pond. Plenty of work still to do, but exciting times ahead. Well done Paul, and Mark...obviously Keep us posted.

Cheers...Freddy.
