Highslide JS 19 June 2014

The first concrete is poured for the footings
Highslide JS 19 June 2014

Blocks are in place for block laying to commence. Luckily we had excellent weather for the job.
Highslide JS 20 June 2014

Block laying started on the field wall which will be about 5ft high. Note the inner wall laid with blocks on their side.

Here's a view of the wall from the field. It needed to be pretty solid as it was holding up a lot of ground behind it. Bit of a contrast with the original foundations - if you can call them that.
Highslide JS 23 June 2014

Steady progress with block laying. Meanwhile another pile of rubble has emerged. I wouldn't have liked to have dig it out by hand.
Highslide JS 23 June 2014

Field wall nearing full height.
Highslide JS 27 June 2014

The footing walls are now finished. Concrete has been poured between the walls of the field wall - hopefully, that will stop it moving.
Highslide JS 30 June 2014

A 100mm layer of insulation was added above the DPC with some steel mesh above that. I'm hoping that the insulation will help the concrete act as a heat store.

Taken at 06:30 in the morning as they started at half five. The big day when the concrete arrived. I wanted a float (i.e. smooth) finish for the floor as I get fed up trying to find dropped nuts and bolts on a standard concrete floor.
Highslide JS 3 July 2014

The floor is in and finished. Getting ready to lay the entrance ramp and prepare the drains. 2 soakaways will be needed. The electrical consumer unit has been retained from the old shed with its connection to the house. After a month in the field it now sits on the floor. It's critical use was for the builder's kettle.
