After an originally scheduled site-start in January was scuppered by problems raised by the council (I'll post about that later), weeks had drifted by and suddenly we found ourselves in early March.
With our council problems finally resolved, we had been told by Porter Davis that we could expect a "site start" of 12th March, and, sure enough, an excavator turned up to our block on the morning of the 12th.
These photos were taken on 15th, and it is pretty clear that some real progress has finally been made. The cut-back and flattening of the block for the slab has been done. But also (I wasn't expecting this) the piers for the slab have been put in.
Porter Davis have also told us that, weather permitting, they will be pouring the slab on the 24.

This is the block on the 15th. It is pretty clear (especially looking at the shot from the rear) to see where the excavator has done its work.

From the rear of the block, it is really clear where the excavator has been doing its work.

My new front door will be here! |

And this is going to be our "Alfresco" extension - I can't quite yet visualise the "luxurious in-door/outdoor lifestyle options" the Porter Davis sales rep was talking about, but I'm sure that will come.
