Construction begins August 2010 with trenches going much deeper than expected. The site originally sloped fairly sharply down to the Edderston Burn and was filled and levelled with builders rubbish from the building of our old house next door.
Finding the hard ground meant digging down nearly 2.5 metres towards the rear of the site. Consequently the foundations are so deep that we needed three times as much concrete to fill them.
Lucky I don't care at all about those green issues.
