Ground works start today.

Got started today. 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.
