We spent the previous week getting the ground works and the concrete raft back on track after our shuttering had blown and put us behind schedule.  By the end of the week we had got the raft finished off and we were back on track.
Last week was about running in the underground drainage for the foul water from the kitchen, and also running in the pipe work for the Rainwater Harvest Tank.  The early part of the week we were slightly hampered again as we had to wait for the skips to be picked up while we removed the last of the earth from site.  Once that was done we provisionally started to lay our various pipe runs and inspection chambers into position.  When we had the pipe runs in position and we were happy with where everything was going we then put the pieces of the jigsaw together as it were and joined all the pipe work up, checking our levels as went making sure we had a good fall on the pipe runs so the water was running away efficiently.  When we had everything connected up and we were finally happy everything was doing its job properly, we then back filled all the pipe runs with pea gravel, and then started to back fill on top of that with hardcore so as to bring the ground level back up to where it should be.
On Friday we took delivery of all our bricks, blocks, lintels and mortar mix ready for the coming week when Andy and Liam the brickies will be on site.  We also took the opportunity to have a good clean up as we were close to completing the ground works and wanted the site to look nice and shiny for Andy and Liam!
