Excavation for foundations done and dusted.

Between 10th and 13th June the excavators were left to their own devices as I was away on business. This feeling of "leaving it all up to them" can be very disconcerting, but on the other hand who are we to tell them how to do their job...

This is the view looking East across what will be the garden with the utility room, kichen and living room looking out to the North, the living room also to the East and South. The blue pipe is the water mains with a tap on it for the builders.

This is the view looking South up the hill.

And this is looking North across the patio. Having seen the gradient and the amount of humus waiting to be modelled into it, it was hard to know whether to laugh or cry...

The view to the North West: The bedroom is on the nearest corner, the living room on the short part of the "L" on the right.

 

And this looking East from where the garage will be.

Next step is the laying of the foundations between the 25th and 27th June. Unfortunately there will only be photos of the finished product because I will be away at a conference during that time.. Maybe it's better that way - it'll stop any interference on my part.
