Great progress this week - we are nearly ready for the first concrete pour and the boring for the piled foundations started. There are nearly 70 piles in total; the consequence of building a house on a slope.

The excavator has a neat attachment for boring the piles

Completed pile holes (I hope it doesn't rain before they pour the concrete)

 |
The trench for the drainage pipework has now been excavated for the length of the house
|
 |
The foundation trench for the east retaining wall has been dug and is ready for the piles to be bored
|
 |
| Area at the north east corner of the house where the pool equipment cupboard will be built |

The topsoil is being relaid over the house excavated material along the east boundary of the site
