Self Build Diary - Day 36 - Site levelling

The progress over the last few days on site has been really encouraging!

The raft beams on Friday actually are part of the building, and today the spoil at the back is being used to fill in between the beams, become compacted and then 4 inches of hardcore level off the inside to beam level.

this should take today and tomorrow and maybe Wednesday morning, and hopefully we can find an appropriate window of opportunity on Wednesday afternoon to pour the slab, the only problem we may face is the temperature dropping t the current levels, we really need it to be 4 degrees or more to ensure that the concrete sets properly.

frost today, frost Tuesday but hopefully a tropical (in Huddersfield standards Wednesday afternoon, will nudge us a step closer to being weather proof!

Ill post some photos of the works tomorrow, its amazing to see the site levelling and us getting a real perspective of the size of the site and the garden.
