Now the bricks are up to a level damp course, as the house is built on a gradient rising from fron to back, the drainage both rainwater and foul have been put in.
the next step is to lay the beam and block floor, a straight forward job, the beams come in standard sizes, so can be bought and cut down to size before you take delivery. They are simply layed from front to back in verticle lines with concrete blocks dropped in-between.
The last pictures are of Mel and me standing at our front door.

More activity at sudders and the good dry weather is most welcome, the groundworks are complete all bar the drainage and the bricklayers have had 4 days very unseasonal warm sunny days and have bricked up to DPC level.
The ground workers are due back to install water and drainage to the existing pipework left by the previous building (RAF contact hall).
The next month should see the walls go up very quickly weather permitting, although this morning has been one of the coldest yet, so im hoping the frost stays away.
