Good foundations

A bit wet underfoot so some unflattering footwear was in order.  John the Architect asked us to have a look at the back garden to see how we wanted it shaped.  From the back of the house to the end of the garden is probably a 2m drop, while the toys machinery is on the land we have an opportunity to easily shape the land to and layer it with some retaining walls.

In the last day the definition of the downstairs is nearly complete and the outline of the house is becoming clear.

Above, the cavity wall is visible around the master bedroom.  Rhian is stood in the bathroom, in the unflattering footwear.

Above, Ellie's bedroom on the left and Caitlin's on the right.  Above Ellie's bedroom is the dining aread and above Caitlins is the front room (snug).  Beyond Ellie's room the will be a cantilevered living room floating at street level.

The retaining wall with some waterproofing, the black side is facing the road and this will underpin the garage door.  Beyond this wall will be the spare bedroom.

In the master bedroom a channel for the waste has been dug, this will disappear through a hole in the wall under the dpc.  Waste will be treated in a special bit of plant in the garden before flowing into the stream beyond the fence.  No connection to the sewers needed.
