Foundations Day 2

Well after meeting the rock the lads decided that we would just have to get in a tracks machine and yesterday lunch time it arrived! We had the JCB spreading 6" stone 9 21ton loads of that in now, and the tracks machine was digging the foundations and breaking rock where needed.

They cut the A393 mesh into strips of three and will have to walk it in once the concrete is down now because the foundations are so deep in places up to 4ft of concrete.

I had 8 loads on order for ten o clock this morning and i think the quarry had designated two lorrys to draw over and back for the afternoon, the quarry is only 10mins away so there is not much of a delay.

We were thinking that we would have had to get a concrete lorry with a conveyor belt on it to reach the back walls as you cant currently drive all the way around the building but now we will just pour it into the bucket of the tracks machine and put it across like that.

Ill post again tommorow and hopefully we will have foundations down.

For costs to date keep an eye on the budget tracker i will update it when we have the floors down!!!
