Meanwhile we've quite literally hit rock bottom (or maybe it should be top!). Turns out that the cottage is built on rock (Good to see that somebody has read their New Testament) as the builders have hit it adjacent to where the old 'summer room' was. Hopefully this means less foundations, and therefore concrete, as long as we can agree this with the Building Control Officer.
Elsewhere huge trenches are being dug for the retaining wall foundations - again the rock is proving helpful here as the excavations are incredibly stable as a result. It would be nice to think we can simplify the retaining walls accordingly but this is something we'll have to discuss with Building Control and our Structural Engineer.
Portaloo still hasn't appeared...
