Day 3

With concrete founds set and sight lines re-established, work starts on the dwarf walls which will support the slab. We had good dry weather today and good progress was made.



At the same wok continues apace made on the retaining wall opposite the house. The soil behind this used to be retained by the wall of a cow shed which was demolished to allow more light to the house and improve its setting. The new wall is constructed fom 150mm dense concrete block and then faced in sandstone (laid dry) reclaimed form the original farmhouse.
