Saturday 14th October Excavating for basement

Surveyed in the house position again for Baz to start digging for the basement.

The front face will be 1.9 metres below ground and the back face approx 4.3m because of the slope of the land.

Monday will see the completion of the dig and tuesday 400mm of sub-base arrives as a base for the re-inforced concrete slab.

I had hoped to see the Huf Basement team soon after this part of the work, but their timing depends on Volker being able to revise their programme (as they have changed it). The programme I have been given shows the basement being constructed in Mid October and I will have kept to that programme. Lets see if anything changes next week.

I have concerns about leaving the excavations open for so long.
