Major milestone today, my dad and I dug the footings for the extension. It's been a long time leading up to this, with work on the patio, boiler and drainage all having to happen first.

It took us the morning to get them dug out and I'm so happy that it's done now.
I've booked the building inspector to come round on Tuesday and hopefully we'll pour the concrete on Wednesday.
I do think we've dug them a little deep, but I'd rather that than too shallow and for the sake of a little extra concrete it's not the end of the world. I can't wait to get this project moving upwards!
A lovely size kitchen will be wonderful for your growing family, luxury after the little kitchen you have coped with :-)
ReplyDeleteThat;s the bit I really can't wait for, a good kitchen! I'm going to make ti from scratch as well I hope!
DeleteA good day work, and a nice start.
ReplyDeleteLuckily it only took half a day - I had plenty to do in the afternoon!
DeleteGood luck, nice straight sides :)
ReplyDeletethe clay dug really easily with the digger, couldn't touch it with the spade though.
DeleteBig things have been happening around your place! It must feel great to see your plans and dreams taking shape. Love it!
ReplyDeleteIt's all happening at the moment, it feels like we're really moving forward. Does feel like it's going to kill me somenights though!
DeleteHow exciting is it going to be single storey or double?
ReplyDeleteDouble, bedroom and bathroom above!
DeleteI had to dig my house footings by hand. Backhoes are MUCH nicer!
ReplyDeleteI don;t fancy that job! A digger makes everything easier!
DeleteI want more space!
ReplyDeleteNice crisp looking footings.
ReplyDeleteLooking very good. When is your proposed end date?
