Today is the first day that we add to the house, instead of just demolishing. Of course we made big improvements to the shed, but the house just gets worse.
The digger man has dug a lovely trench (1500x600) into which various amounts of steel reinforcing have been laid. The council man has said 'good job boys away you go' (he arrived a day early!, yes the council man, unreal) so today the concrete man pours in bucket loads of concrete.
Will take a picture of the trench before the concrete goes in, great excitement for those lovers of trenches and bits of bent steel.
Almost forgot, got so carried away with the trench and forgot to mention the purpose of the trench. It shall be the footing (or foundation) upon which the new outside wall will be built. The new wall is block (stuff called Hebel). A real wall as the English would understand, none of the timber framing nonsense!
