Another block in the wall

We have left it a couple of days and tonight have seen quite leap in terms of progress.  All the footings have been dug out, so we can make out where the bedrooms will be.  It is also possible to understand where the cantilever room will be.

The retaining wall below the garage has also taken on a height.  Evidence of drainage work is appearing as well as dpc material in the brickwork.


Above, looking down from the road into the void that will support the driveway.  The largest wall denotes where the garage door will be sited.  Behind that wall will be the downstairs, specifically the spare bedroom.


Above the foreground on the left will be Caitlin's bedroom and on the right will be Ellie's.  The island of earth with he footing around it (Ellie's bedroom) shows where the main living space will be (on the first floor above).


The footing in the foreground denotes the back of the house on that side, eventually this will be patio doors into Ellie's bedroom.  On the same side at the front of the house is Caitlin's bedroom.


Another indication as to the amount of mass needed in the retaining walls.
