Arrived 8.20am. Today they have cemented round all the drains and started building some of the walls of the new extension. Tomorrow is the slab going down.

No Kevin today, Yarik arrived 9.00. On my return lots of pipework had been resited for the drains and concrete poured into the foundations.

Building inspector called and approved foundations although suggested we underpinned part of the corner of existing building – we agreed at extra cost. Large delivery arrived of blocks, sand , cement etc.

Plumber called round at the weekend, filling us with confidence that the build was going ahead as plannned.
