It's taking shape

The lounge slab is excavated and weather permitting will be cast on Saturday

Formworks going in ready for the basaement lid to be cast early next week
All of this has been good news and great progress, but todays other activity has been unblocking next doors drains.

That's right, next doors foul drain was weeping into our site, that puddle is not rainwater, I know because I've smelt it and then lifted 4 of nextdoors manhole covers to find the blockage.

It wasn't the best morning I've had.
