Week 1 of construction - Fences and a pile of dirt

OK, so here are some shots of the very initial progress at the site. Firstly from across the road:


The very observant may be able to notice that there the fence doesn't even go all the way around yet - things are still at an early stage. Next the lot itself. As you can see, not a huge amount has happened apart from the removal of the topsoil. If you look very closely, you can see the lines that mark the border of each townhouse plot. They're not very clear at all at this resolution though [Edit: clicky for bigger pixen!].

Here's a close up of the lines that you can't really see in the picture above.

And at the end of the line is a stake with our unit number on it!

And here is where they put all the dirt they collected....

That's it for now! I'm going to try and do weekly updates to keep track of the build process.
