Foundations


The building has started with the foundation base filled with crushed metal (stones), levelled and compacted, it's very hard to see but the site has a slope towards the East so we had to put a lot of extra fill to build it up to the correct level.

The weather has been really bad, rain, hail, wind and snow, the only thing we didn't get was locusts and pestilence...

Our big tank arrived last night, so we have another challenge of moving it around to the back of the site and putting it in a hole so the water will be able to fill it to the top.
Yes I made an error in my calculations and didn't take into account the height between the space between the edge of the roof and the top of the tank -oh bother! and other words like that.
It's dawned a beautiful day, so I should be able to finish of the foundation form-work, so we will be able to sort out were we will put the pipes under the concrete slab, you only get one chance of getting this part of the build correct..
