June Update – Weeks 9-10

Finally we have finished the underpinning, thankfully we didn’t have to unpin the whole barn as the south gable wall has to be rebuilt and as part of that the wall will have proper foundations.

Work on the retaining wall has also progressed and we finally reached the opposite boundary line 24 meters away where we have laid blocks in a curve round the top corner of the barn. The wall will eventually reach a maximum height of 2.2m with double skin thickness along half the wall.


Now the underpinning is finished, attention can turn to laying the concrete floor so David hired a laser level to measure the floor to ceilings heights and hence the depth to prepare to.
