Concrete is hard

I popped round to the house on Friday afternoon, five weeks after the build kicked off, and was beyond thrilled to see the extension foundation had been poured. Here's the view from the bottom of the garden in the late afternoon sun. (Yippee - the east facing garden gets sun for most of the afternoon!) If you look closely you can see that the fence that used to run along the perimeter of the garden has been removed to allow the concrete to be poured right to the width of the house. The fence will be rebuilt in time, with a small access gate allowing people to arrive straight onto the deck area.
