All that happened before had beed just a prelude.
We waited for the DAY.
Finally in April 22-nd a transport of "Silka" blocks (made of sand and lime) had arrived at my site.
The material is clean, white and soon became 18cm wide home walls.
Two day delay of the transport frustrated me and my buliders but when they started brickalying the effect was visible immediately!
Despite cloudy and even rainy days the view influenced my imagination and heart started to beat faster.
In April 10-th, when the soil finally softened I resumed construction. The first thing I needed was a connection to the waterworks. The house reqired also connection to the sewage system. Plastic pipes had to be layed down before and under the concrete layer of surface level. In several days from now walls will start to grow. I almost forgot to mention about the electricity, but this is a must at the construction site.
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".
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. ;)
December, 10-th.
The pace of work is fast. We must meet a winter deadline.
Photos show draining and vertical isolation of foundation.
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.
