Thats some flat dirt

This was the finished product once Mr Grumpy Excavator was done. There are spray paint marks all over the dirt to mark out the corners of our footprint and the big trench near the front is for footing to support the blade wall . It was the first time we have been able to get a really good idea of the size. A lot more fill than we expected has been removed so we will need a retaining wall right across the back and right down one side but once fences go on top of these we will have excellent privacy from the single storey houses surrounding us. We are due to have formwork and plumbing on Monday, waffles Tuesday and slab on Wednesday if it stays dry. So far not a drop of rain at the block since Wed and the soil is bone dry and fluffy even. Some small patches of clay were exposed in the excavation but they are not very big. All of our fill was dumped at our builders land so we might yave to get some of the good stuff back for our garden later.
