Bricks!

Some progress: The concrete went in for the underpinning and the pillar (with steels!)


Rob the brickie started the pillar construction - enough to stand proud of the concrete slab..


The sand went down to protect the Damp proof plastic sheet from any sharp stones ready for 'whacking' (compacting)...


And Rob put a couple of courses of brick round to put the DPC over.


All being well, the whacker will arrive tomorrow and the concrete slab will get laid. The foundations for the rear porch were dug today (since the whacker wasn't available) but we need to sort out the drains so we don't have a manhole cover in the rear porch.
