The builders have started on the house today. They made short of demoliting the garage and shed at the side of the house. A bonfire at the back meant that most of the wooden frame for the shed and garage was burnt.
OH NO!!! Discovered a problem already!!! It would seem that the sewer drainage does not run as we expected it to. We had assumed that there was a private sewer running along the back of all the properties on this side of the road and that the pipe connecting our house continued on into our next doors garden. This was not the case, there is a private sewer connecting three houses to our right when then runs down our drive (the area we want to excavate) and connects to the public sewer in the road.
This is going to be a major problem as we will now have to re-route the sewer so that it doesnt run down our drive. Sounds expensive! and its only day 1. This could be a loooong few months.
