Yesterday morning, work began on the foundations. It started with a lot of neon pink string, checking and rechecking measurements at ground level, then building a fence, moving the strings to waist level and rechecking to make sure everything was square and tidy.
By midday, trenching had begun. Maru-chan dug the ground down to the level of the concrete reinforcements. They are lower along the outside edges & higher in the middle. That lets the slab have a deep footing and be more shallow across the expanse of the house.
It’s forecast to rain today, so there won’t be any work done on site. I will go up anyway to feed the fish and admire yesterday’s work. It’s hard to stay away from my happy place.
