Before the excavators are returned, we have been doing some tidying up. This has included reinstating bits of the top soil and digging the footings for the retaining walls in the garden. I am quite keen to return parts of the site back to it’s original condition asap. This way the grass will have a chance to re-establish itself before we move in (otherwise, it will be like living on a building site).
We have also started stacking all the blocks ready for when the extension starts to get built.
We have dug out the footings for the retaining wall in the sunken garden. There will be a dry stone wall in front of the retaining wall. We will build the dry stone wall ourselves.
It rained this afternoon and there is nothing more miserable than a wet building site. The blocks are all stacked ready to start building the extension.
