River deep foundation high

OK, bit of a milestone as the complete foot print of the house is discernible.  See photos.

Also now clear that the land drops about 2.5 m from the back bedroom to the back border.  To that end we are considering ripping out the conifers and building up a retaining wall in their place, plus another retaining wall in line with the garage door next door.  This is extra so we need to see what it costs, but its going to be hard not to do it.


Above, first view of the almost complete perimeter walls.



The conifers at the back could be gone, which is good and bad.  The slope on the garden, and the 2m of land they use up, are compelling reasons to lose.  We'll see.


The trees either side of Ellie need to go as that is where the cantilever room and decking will be.  Albeit 2m above her head, and the with of her room on the left.
