Enough for 2005

December 13-th.
It's the last part of work progress report this year.
I'm letting the winter to wander around for a bit more than 3 months. Then I'll ask her to leave. What now? Time to rest and think about future's home "look and feel".

Kingdom for a sand!

December 12-th and 13-th.

I had no idea how much sand I need to fill in the foundation.
The large pile of soil extracted previously was not enough.
I took 9 loads of dumper to finish the work (180 tons).
I was on the building site then and these busy, noisy and cold two days there were kind of romantic experience. ;)

The pace of work is fast. We must meet a winter deadline.
Photos show draining and vertical isolation of foundation.

End of November

Several photos during the period when the water isolating "something" was painted. There was high humidity and it took about a week to dry. It changed its colour form brown to black.
