The house is being built on a concrete raft instead of foundations isn't it SC? One hell of a lot of ready-mix concrete to come soon I would imagine.
Its really good that you are keeping a photographic record for posterity.
RE: The build - Small chilli - 09-04-2021
Yeah concrete raft. Lots of metal work as well as concrete. Just to keep it interesting and more expensive
.A lot more gravel first!

Looking at what has been dug out you have a lot of peat there, so if you need to clear some space, just bring it down here, I have room for it

Started hulling away the dugout today.

I may have asked this before so apologies if I have.
Does that mountain you are going to be looking out onto have a name?

We had a little delivery today. It was very exciting.

The annoying part is 95% of this stuff will never be seen.
