It's been a quiet few weeks on the house site waiting for the contractors to come back,  but we have done the following:

 

  • Building control and quantity surveyor inspected the works carried out to date
  • The plumber supplied our the internal drainage.
  • Anchor straps fitted.
  • Alum clad, triple glazed windows order finalised and placed
  • Attic trusses design reviewed and finalised 

 

We are now commencing the final stage of the foundations. In filling the solum is the first job.

The solum has now been infilled and whacked with the aggregate. A finer layer is now being added on top.

We used around 25m3 of concrete and as the photos show through the last few blog posts, we had fantastic weather conditions during this foundation.
