 Land lowered to 500mm below existing ground level. |  Whoops! Water table too high and nearly lost the digger! |
|
 ...so we had to pile the foundations, should only need to be about 8m. |  Interesting little machine to drive the cylindrical piles into the ground in 2m lengths and then welded together. ...and one of them ended up at 14m below, before it took the weight load! |
|
 Now we can dig the foundations and start making the re-inforced steel. |  Handmade box shuttering. Well done 'Grandad'! |
|
 Good grief! This is heavy! The steel works are lowered into the box shuttering. |  Cement is poured into the box shuttering, which is later removed, when the cement is dry. |
|
 Are we building? Now we are still below the gound - but up to the damp course at last! |  Block and Beam floor is layed and then a thin screed over the top to seal. |
