Day 2:

• Not great weather – plenty of rain showers
• Setting out corner boards based on my string lines
• Laying pads for the site welfare cabins
• Removing the turf from where the house will be
• Excavating the old cellar (nearest the camera) which turned out to be about 1.8m deep with concrete slabs at the bottom

Week 1, Day 2

The cellar doesn’t show up particularly well in the overview shot so here’s a clearer view from a different angle.

Old cellar – roughly 1.8m deep
