Foundations created
Local building officer gives the thumbs up in the morning along with Tim, Structural Engineer and in the afternoon the conrete lorry arrives with an amazing automated conveyor belt to effectively place the concrete into the footings.
Footings dug out
The house position is then mapped out onto the land with spray paint. Digger driver Ron and Ivor carefully dig out the Kidney shape footings.

One Day to go before the build starts
Its the early hours of Easter Monday 2007, our digger man Ivor arrives Tuesday 10th April 2007, he will start clearing the top soil, marking out the house footprint and then dig out the footings. I cleared our garden today and had to take our childrens trampoline down. We may be able to put it back up once the top soil has been shifted around.
