We have put quite a bit of manpower onto building up the blockwork – 2 brickies, one apprentice and a labourer (in addition we have had 3 underfloor heating engineers and a carpenter on site).  So today has been busy.

The cement mixer has been going all day trying to keep up with the blockwork.  Even so, it is going to take at least a week before we are ready to lay the concrete base.

The mass of blocks is starting to diminish as the walls for the base are built up.

We have made some good progress on the block work today.  With have had 2 brickies, one apprentice and a labourer working on this all day (in between the rain showers).  You can see the block work for the porch has been completed in the background (including the drain for the downstairs cloakroom).
