It's coming on -slowly!
Well the crane has arrived and now the 'building crew' (all TWO of them) are setting to work.They've laid the cement base on which they will eventually start the reinfoced concrete lower walls.
What you can see here is the
structure being prepared to pour the liquid cement over the steel frames. You can see just how thick the base of the house will be. Non of the popular 'ercted in one day' building here like in many countries. Wimpy eat your heart out!!The large space here to the left will be the underground garage, and behind it (photo below) a store room, stairwell and utility room/cellar.
I understand that there will be one floor and then in part there will be three steps up to the two bedrooms. The mountain of dirt they dug out will be put around the house on a slope giving the impression that it is on a grassy slope.
It should be great when it's finished!
They should, as I've said, get to the roof level by September. Then work will stop until they've saved some more money! (No morgages here in families like this) It's 'no money' no building'. They loathe owing even a cent to anyone!
