The spoil heap seems to be growing. Unfortunately, we started it close to the corner of the foundations and now it is going to have to be moved. But it doesn’t take long with a 4.5 tonne digger!
We have also come across another soakaway. It is brick-built and matches the other one that we found at the end of last year. They are probably connected and used as a soakaway for rainwater from the drainpipes.
