foundations 05-03-2010 latest pictures

Friday was a great day, very cold but the clearest sky you could imagine. Gilles our French builder finished digging out the foundations, put in the first layer of concrete and set the steel reinforcement ready for pouring the concrete on Monday. The ground is very sandy so Gille had to go a lot deeper than normal for the foundations. The bungalow next door has cracking to the floor due to the builder not going deep enough with their foundation.

Today Sunday 07-03-2010 we woke up to snow!! Thats not good news, the forecast seems to show that its not getting any warmer. This is worrying because it could hold the build up, just have to hope that its a bit warmer in Gouzon. Well thats all for now keep checking for the next update.
