The blueprint

Things have been a bit hectic around here the last week or so and the weather took a major turn for the worse. The builders have had to bring in a pump to get water out of the site but by all accounts it's still resembled something from the WW2 trenches at times. Because it was so wet we didn't venture in to take pictures of the piles before they were capped but when we went out yesterday morning a very exciting development awaited us! The 'ringbeam' as it's called has now been fitted which is basically the same as foundations on a build that doesn't need piling, so you can now see the outline of all the rooms! Weirdly when you are standing in them they seem small but the sqare footage is much larger than our current house so I know they're not really; it's just hard to get an impression of the space when it's in 2D. In these pictures the digger was working to spread yet more layers of hardcore - the last to arrive before the precast floor slabs are laid.

This is us looking into the grown-ups' living room...

Mucky!
