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. Rolleyes
Its really good that you are keeping a photographic record for posterity. Cool

Yeah concrete raft. Lots of metal work as well as concrete. Just to keep it interesting and more expensive  Rolleyes .
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
