The top soil around the extension was removed, resulting in a huge pile of earth that should come in handy for something one day. The remnants of the old patio were dug out and broken up for hardcore.
Next the foundations were dug out, Fortunately my neighbour has an area in one of his fields where the clay and rocks could be dumped, so no need to transport this off site.
Two trenches were dug. One to the septic tank for the new en-suite and another to take the relocated telephone line and cables to my amateur radio antennas.
We also had to move two elderly rose bushes to their new home south of the extension. They wilted a bit but I'm hoping they'll recover if I feed them lots of water.
The concrete for the foundations arrives at 08:00 tomorrow!
