Visible progress with the drainage in the overview photo, but quite a lot of time spent loading up a series of lorries carrying excess spoil off-site.
Also the delivery of a lorry-load of pea shingle for bedding the drain pipes in.
Expansion slots cuts into the floor slabs, to (try to) ensure that any cracking is localised to those locations.
Then the start of work on the drainage inspection chambers and pipe runs, with a delivery of the materials required for those.
In other news, the local council planning team have finally granted approval for the bricks to be used. There was some discussion because the original bricks had weathered very heavily over 100 years or so and hence weren’t representative of what the bricks would have looked like when new – which is what we’re trying to re-create.
