Steel reinforcing is laid in the trenches and concrete is poured on top.

Concrete blocks will now be used to build up the edge of the foundations.

Ann is standing inside the family room.

Once a row of concrete blocks is laid, a layer of sand is used to form the bed for the concrete floor.
Even the store room (for the ride-on mower) behind the garage is done.

The steel reinforcing for the floor is laid after the pipework for water and sewage is installed.

Wooden shuttering is used to define the outer edge of the concrete slab.

On the 17th March they poured the concrete base.

With the arrival of the frames on the 18th we can see visible signs of progress.

One thundery Wednesday night we arrived to see that they had started on the frames.
