Nigel and his team were't best pleased with having to excavate the collapsed bank, i don't think anyone likes doing the same job twice but for a builder as long as they are making progress they are relatively happy, if they are going back to do the same thing twice it rattles them. I mean... imagine having to spend the rest of your working life in the this muddy hole.
Only after the foundations were clear the concrete could be poured into the trenches for the foundations of the lower part of the garage (our side). The next problem was that due to the additional digging the trenches ended up bigger than needed meaning that there wasn't enough concrete to do the job. The only option was to use a mixer and a shovel to make up the rest of the concrete by hand.
All the while that these works are going on there is a soggy clay bank hanging perilously over the site poised to collapse and move everything back to square one. The approach at the moment is to move as fast as possible and keep our fingers crossed.
