With the footings sorted out at the weekend, we can now move on to starting on the blockwork.
It took most of the day to do the marking out and check all of the levels. The blockwork will be brought up to the specified height. The outside of the trench will then be back filled with subsoil. The inside will be levelled, stone added and then steel mesh will be installed before the concrete base of the building is then laid. The level of the floor is level with the top of the block work. I reckon we will be in a position to lay the floor in the next 10-14 days. There is quite a bit of work here (as you can see from the amount of concrete blocks) plus there are quite a few changes in floor level.
It took most of the day just to mark out where all the walls are going to go, but by the end of the day a row of blocks has gone up along the line of the new kitchen.
All of these blcoks will be used to build up to the floor level of the new extension.
