Day 31 - Dig Deep

The underpinning has been started. They have had to dig deep holes, which are slightly under the existing house, these have steel rods in them and will be filled with concrete to create the supports.

We can now get an idea of how deep the garage is going to be.

More digging means more grab loader lorries to take the earth away. Luckly the weather has been on our side. Hopefully we will be out of the ground in a couple of weeks and then there should be less mess.

Day 25 - The Great Wall Of...

The walls have finally started to go up at the back of the house. You can see the space for the french doors at the far corner, the window in the middle will be part of the rear living room together with the french doors to the right.

The walls are not going to get much higher until we have sorted out the underpinning at the side.
