Just a little update, this week saw a lot of back filling.
Levelled ground off 13" below floor height. All by hand, no machinery. Except the whacker.
Got a delivery of 10 tonne class 1 hardcore
Whackered it all down ready for the sand to go on
Sand covering leaving 6" for concrete
DPM in and reinforcing mesh down, shuttering up front
Concrete poured in
