2 January 2008 Trench dug to remove the water. Earth has also fallen from sides of elevation and contaminated the space for the next concrete. Progress is painfully slow, it's like watching paint dry!!
|
|||
|
17 January 2008 Back to square one.
|
|||
|
25 January 2008 New shuttering completed.
|
|||
|
25 January 2008 This time though the rain has not stopped them. Concrete being poured into basement walls, pillars and the patio retaining wall.
|
|||
|
25 January 2008 When this concrete has set the outside of the basement walls can be waterproofed and then the basement can be back-filled and the ground levelled ready for shuttering for the ground floor slab which is much larger than the basement.

27 January 2008 It's a sunny Sunday and they are

27 January 2008 Outer shuttering removed so that concrete can dry out prior to painting
and lining with bituman material to make it waterproof.

27 January 2008 It's such a nice sunny day in contrast to 2 days ago when the walls were concreted. This picture taken from the roadside edge of the plot looking west towards the sea. You can follow this road all the way to the sea but a 4 wheel drive is needed as it is definately an "off road" experience but good fun!

30 January 2008 3 days later another contrast - the day after a snow storm !!
|
|||
|
8 February 2008 Outside of walls starting to paint. Widening the gap around the basement walls. The wall nearest the camera is a retaining wall for the basement patio.
|
|||
|
22 February 2008 Weather has again caused a weeks lost work (rain stops play over here!!) Almost finished the bituman felt sticking to walls.
|
|||
|
22 February 2008 A large amount of stone hard core has been delivered (seen above). Not sure if this is for back-filling the basement walls or as a base for the ground floor slab which will be shuttered and reinforced once the back filling is completed.
