The rear wall was constructed this week up to lintel level. Seeing it built, we realise there’s not much of it really, due mostly to the large folding doors that will be fitted in the dining room. So it only takes a day to build. The rest of the week has been taken up with tanking and below ground insulation (see previous post), land and surface water drainage works and preparation for the front wall.

The front wall foundations were cast on Friday – the last of the foundation works! The scaffolders arrived yesterday (Saturday) and erected the scaffolding to the side and rear of the extension. This will allow the extension walls to be built up next week.
