Building Work – 21/3 to 28/3
03/29/2007
Wednesday….
Not a massive amount to see.
Thursday was much the same and the light was bad so we’ll pass on those!
Now Friday, the real excitement….
We have concrete! Or the mixer, anyway
Now we have concrete π Going in!
And it starts to fill up…
When they came back on Monday there was a slow worm and a newt in the trench! Both alive and moved to a slightly more suitable place π
End of Monday….
As you can see the concrete has set and they’ve cleared most of the earth from the middle!
Standing in the extension and they’ve dug out a trench down the garden for the soak away (basically takes the rain water away)
Tuesday…
Internal walls have started to go up! This was actually take really early Wednesday morning just after they’d arrived but before they’d done anything, thus why there are people in it π
And finally Wednesday
This is the far wall, they accidently made it shorter than it was meant to be so this is some rather clever “stepping back” of the blocks to gain back most of that extra length! I have lost a tiny bit of length but nothing significant now I don’t think –Β before it was about 8 inches!
It’s quite incredible how quickly it’s progressed!
So, that’s this weeks installment π It’s so hard to keep on top of all these photos and select the best ones to use!

*gasps*
That’s got on really quickly! Wish those builders had done the work on next door’s garden – his took weeks and weeks to just alter the location of a wall!! π

It really has hasn’t it π Most people are rather impressed!
*Fixes post* Noticed just now I accidently duplicated one instead of adding a different one.
You’re welcome, hope you had a good bday!
