We have piles!

Yes, that is an announcement that one would not normally make, but, I make it with glee!  We have to sink 46 piles, and they did 10 this week.  We are really hoping that the company is going to send another machine so we can speed things up a bit.  They take a 2m long hollow steel pipe and slowly hammer it into the ground.  Then they weld another 2 metre long pipe onto it and sink that too.  We better not have cracks in our walls after all this effort and expense!!!  It is the noisiest procedure I have ever heard.  Our poor neighbours - I am SO glad we are not living there!
