The slab is finished, the lower ground floor walls are all in place and even at the front of the house we are ‘out of the ground’ – good progress. On the outside the lower ground retaining wall has been covered in EPS, a plastic covering and then a layer of shingle before back filling with the spoil from the dig. The steel piles have been pulled out and taken off site to be reused. Steel going off site? Brilliant! As the ‘trenches’ get filled in the ‘mountain’ is disappearing – this is starting to give us an idea of how much spoil we have left to build up the lawn area near the house. The steels for supporting the main spine walls and the hall area have arrived and are in place. Next week work starts on the floor proper…..Don’t forget to check out the ‘vids’ marked on the right hand side of the blog…..
