Final Dig Out, the dark area on the walls shows how much!

Re-using our old bricks as part of the sub-base, green and cost effective.

Footings dug, note (if you are interested) the bricks topped off with compacted millwaste, giving 150mm of sub-base in total.

Footings concrete, we've elected to use the 'mix on site machines' brilliant, I'll never use readymix again.

Barrowing the concrete.

Dave doing the skilful bit (Levelling the footings).


Pouring the footing for the kitchens folding sliding doors. 1m deep, and I dug half of it!


Laying the sub-floor walls. These are the below ground sections of walls that will be under the main slab, and damp proof membrane.

Re-using some existing bricks where possible.

Once the sub-floor walls were finished, the whole area was blinded off with sand, and then the entire floor and walls was covered in 1200 guage damp proof membrane.

The whole floor and walls covered, taped and ready for pouring the slab.

Preparing to barrow the concrete.

We have a floor.
