Outbuildings: Week 3, Day 3

Outbuildings: Week 3, Day 3

The main task today was removing the excess soil from between the foundation trenches, to make room for the compacted stone, underfloor insulation and floor slab concrete to be added later. This soil had been intentionally left in place before.

A JCB telehandler was delivered to be used for unloading delivery vehicles and moving materials around the site.

There was also a delivery of engineering bricks and ready-mixed mortar for the walls below DPC, to be supplemented by a lorry load of concrete blocks expected tomorrow.

Outbuildings: Week 3, Day 1

A short day, making the final preparations for the foundation concrete going in tomorrow – tidying up the trenches and marking the approximate level of the top of the concrete.

The automated uploading of the daily photo failed due to the camera rebooting and losing the file that grants permission for the photos to be extracted, hence the photo above is actually a start-of-day shot from Day 2.
