The filling of the hole

The life-cycle of our hole continues. From pre-hole to hole to the very earliest stages of post-hole existence:

Much Delayed Posts

After we got home we found all sorts of other priorities and didn't quite get back to the blog. So, finally, we've wrapped up the main series about our 4.5 months in Asia. New posts have been backdated because it helps us keep the timing straight. The new entries are:

• First day in India!
• Delhi to Agra; First Glimps of the Taj
• Agra: Taj Mahal and More!
• Jagroan
• Amritsar and the Golden Temple
• Jagroanian Pajamas
• Last call for Jagroan
• Chandigarh's Fantasy Rock Garden
• Bazaars of Chandigarh
• An Unexpected Trip To Jaipur
• Downtown Jaipur
• Outskirts of Jaipur
• Ending and Beginning

Hole!

For some time we have owned a pre-hole. Last week while we were away in San Diego permits finally came through and we now have a full hole.

Sadly we do not have a moat so the black knight won't be entirely kept at bay. However, we do kind of have a castle wall. Or perhaps a convenient way to get close to the power line if you were inclined to swing from it?

The north-eastern gate gives access to the hole as well as providing some idea of what our view will be like.

The hole is more impressive when seen from within the hole.

From atop the southern fortifications you can see the odd L shape our neighbors lot makes around us.

Looking forward to seeing a slab go in and the structure begin to take shape!!
