We started digging the foundations in November and with all the bad weather etc it was a slow start. We are building on a hill so had to put a 7ft retaining wall at the back. We are putting the concrete floor in on tuesday and so far its been okay. Got a bradstone finish on the and I would recommend that anyone thinking of it to do their research properly and estimate the cost precisley as we got caught out and had to pay more also it worked out more expensive than natural stone for us. Not a happy lil house builder. Anyway the builders are really slow it took them 4 weeks to get it up to the first floor and they still havent gotcompletely to that level. It is a squarehouse with two bay windows nothing fancy. They are doing my nut they are gone away now to another job for two weeks so we wont see them and If they dont get cracking they willbe going and I will get another builder to finish. Sorry for the rant. Anyway. we are in full flightand seeminglythis is the easy stage if so i am dreading the rest. Best of luck to all you other builers.
