Daddy Mark led the safety briefing on using the chipper and Stephen got stuck into chipping. Nicola is definitely the wimp of the family and was very worried that one of the family members would lose an arm to the chipper but was assured by Mark that there is a safety bar that cuts the machine out when you lean in too far. Apparently the only way we could chip Stephen up if we need to get rid of him is feed him through the machine.

Sabrina and Kieran were also helping chipping and the boys had a who can find the biggest branch to chip, while the girls realising that even the small branches had to go through the machine were just putting the branches in when allowed to.
Meanwhile Mark was driving Yanmar (the digger) to move the branches closer to the chipper and using the chainsaw to cut the big stuff up.

After all the wood was chipped more earth was moved to create a larger entrance to the site and dig out the initial footings foe the driveway. Which of course resulted in, a dumper truck driving competition, with Mark once again on Yanmar.

It is amazing how a site can change in the course of a day it actually looks very spacious now and you can begin to visualise where the houses will sit and the size of the gardens.
Now to celebrate Mums birthday with a family BBQ she is still very young! Happy birthday Mummy!
