A Single Storey Rear Extension Building Project

This is a blog of our extension to our little 1930s terraced house, to share with family and friends. It has taken two years of planning and building control applications and approvals, searching for tradesmen, saving funds, and working out the logistics of managing such a project with 2 dogs, a cat and a one year old child! The plan is to add a kitchen diner with a utility room, and then reconfigure the existing downstairs to include a WC. We hope you enjoy reading about our project!

Membrane laid and concrete pour (Friday)

Today a lorry full of sand arrived and the builders spread it out over the shingle. This protects the membrane from being pierced by any sharp stones. Then the membrane was laid on top o the sand and over the foundation walls. This marks the damp course.

Three hours later the cement lorry arrived and the boys wheeled through 2 cubic metres of cement. Stuart the builder spread it out and levelled it. Tomorrow morning we will be able to walk out on it and our dogs can come home.
