Extending driveway

I have had another bit of luck! My neighbours had some work done on their gas tank by contractors and they very kindly offered their digger to me for the weekend, they also said I could use the rest of the space in their skip which was almost empty.
So I have spent the weekend diving up pay off the lawn with the digger, putting it into wheelbarrows and pushing it around to Peter & Ann to put in the skip. After I had filled the skip with lovely top soil Gwyn from down the road comes past and says he will take the top soil!!!  If he had come past the day before he would have saved me a lot of barrowing, but I was still very grateful for him to take everything that wouldn't fit in the skip which worked out to be the green dumper trucks full.

Gwyn asked me to connect a electric cooker for him so in exchange I am using his wacker plate (compactor) to flatten the new bit of the driveway.

While this is all happening I am still going as fast as possible to get Zac's room finished which means sanding and painting his floor with for coats in the evenings.  I put the last coat on tonight so tomorrow I need to start fitting his skirting boards.
