It has begun

The site has been chosen; the contracts signed; the preparation begun.
This was the chicken coop; to the north (the camera is facing NNW) was the barn. The knoll to the east will be lowered and the new shed built there with its north-west corner near where the north-east corner of the chicken coop is now.

The old house is just to the right, along the woodline; the new house will be a littler further to the east, and up the hill.
