Progress During April 2008

  • Making the shuttering for the vertical concrete pours.
  • Insulation in place, the radon barrier goes in front and the concrete in front of that.
  • I decided to take out the last part of the inspection chamber as it wasn't supporting anything.
  • George eyes up a pigeon.
  • The most recent excavation is between two retaining wall bases. Here you can see the insulation and DPM under the second base to be poured.
  • The view from above. The center of the picture is the most recent excavation.
  • Vertical steels in place.
  • Foamglas going into base 5.
  • Jimbo helping out with last minute work before an inspection.
  • Lowering the steels into base 5.
  • The concrete for base 5 and half of the four vertical sections for the first four retaining walls.
