Sunday 9th June

Next up, the footings/beams that connect between the tops of the piles have to be created. This is a combination of having steel frames made up, sinking them into trenches that are dug between the piles and then pouring with concrete throughout. A lot of precision is needed.

There was a slight hitch with connecting one of the beams to the house footings, but it shouldn't turn out to be a problem.

The steel frames are made up and the digging should begin tomorrow. Hopefully, all should be completed this week and then we need to wait a while for all the concrete to harden.

And that should be it mainly, for the foundations-piece. We can then start to think about drainage and building some walls!
