At least the sky isn't tumbling down, so the song goes, forget who it was by, but a very apt title for today's efforts.
The weather cleared miraculously, temperature climbed to 17 deg c, which for us was a welcome relief, after last weeks blizzard, it was very nice to see the end of the snow, another fortunate aspect of the winter, it wasn't too severe this year, the frost only managed to penetrate about 10cm, made life easy for the digger driver, mind you, with all those horsepower working the shovel, I don't think it would have made any difference.
We were fortunate enough to get the same man to do the groundwork as did project 2, he is very good at what he does, which is good news for me, as he can keep me right, it is one aspect of building I am a little deficient in, I've been more a construction specialist as opposed to foundation work.
Today, that was only taking off the crust, so to speak. Tomorrow, we have to put in the sewage pipes, they go to the house and garage, then we must wait on the towns surveyor, he comes and marks out the corners of the buildings, then we have to put down a membrane, this is to prevent the hardcore which comes on the top subsiding into the soil, which is rather clayish. But that is tomorrows worry.
