Monday 23rd June

Bit slow on the updates this week, but been a productive week. Plumbing work and the slab is in! Apparently things speed up from here.

Sunday 15th June

One more day of drilling and hopefully no more jack hammering! The hole's made and the plumbing trenches are dug. The two beams have been raised and some supporting posts are in as well. Looks like progress! We're looking at a day or two of plumbing and the slab being laid towards the end of this week. The dust factor is stupid.

Tuesday 3rd June

And the digging continues. 3 days of "it missed the dams" rain has effectively turned the entire underneath of the house and the front yard into a mud swamp. Lorries, mud, grass and rain don't mix. Still more digging to go but at least looking like it's nearly there.

Sunday 1st June

Ok, so I'm going on dates rather than days on the job now as it's getting too hard to remember!

Feels like some good progress on Thursday and Friday as some softer rock was found and the hole has made it to the current wall. However, the rain has come turning it into a muddy paddling pool and it's official that the front yard has been trashed.

Monday should see the house being propped so they can dig out the remaining supports and make the hole its final size. Will be nice to have a day with no drilling!
