The ground workers delivered their plant on Saturday and I met them first thing this morning to assist with the marking the site out. We soon realised I had cocked up and one of the sheds was just to close to the site so it had to come down before we could mark the site out proper.

Chris then spent the rest of the day scraping off the top spoil and making a start on the actual footings.

We expect to get the footings completed by late tomorrow and I have today arranged a site visit by both NHBC and building control and as we have hit chalk at just over 800 mm we should be able to get the concrete delivered on Wednesday.

Temporary Gates

Looks like we are set to start excavating the footing on on Monday week.

Spent a few hours yesterday taking a couple of panels out of the fence to make an easier access for the lorries as the existing drive is to tight.

Replaced them with some site security fencing, probably wont stop much but it is better than an open driveway.

At this rate I should be able to post daily in a week or so!
