Six months of patience,impatience, frustration, delight and determination, oh and the racking up of legal fees, has brought us to today. The start of our house build!! As I arrived on site in driving rain, hail and gale force winds! To find many builders sheltering in a van. Quickly the rain cleared and action began.
This morning heralded the start of the construction of the raft steel, which will be complete and shuttered by the end of the week ready to pour!
We also took a delivery of plant and some timber for the shuttering.
It also saw My first ever foray into a drain. Via CCTV of course! Alternative drainage from Huddersfield came down to the site to check the drain connections were where they should be for this "serviced plot".... Serviced except without water or electricity!!! But where the drains there or would it be a clean sweep of absent services?
The drains were not where they should be..... But they were on our site. So thank heavens for small mercies! The £144 for a CCTV survey was well worth it as it will save us hours of digging, as it turns out in the wrong place!
All in all a good day with many wet builders but action on site an a huge morale boost for mrs g and I.
Happy new year and I look forward to updating you with daily updates!
New years resolution....to spellcheck!
Neil
