We were surprised, early in the morning, to hear a flock of motorbikes coming down the track. Dave was just stripped off ready to go in the shower, so I closed the shed door on him and went to see what was happening now. Following the motorbikes was a big truck, full of shuttering boards (to contain the poured concrete). These were dropped off and the day filled with hammering.
We had suggested, mildly, that maybe the foundations could be shuttered before the first pour of concrete, but that was not acceptable last week, apparently because it's too difficult to set up the shuttering on bare ground. I don' know why this opinion changed, but it seems to be going ahead as we wished it, without much bother on our part!

This was how it looked at 9.30 am
And like this by 4.30 pm
Here's Schrodinger checking out the bit I'm not too sure we need, it seems a lot of foundation for a little outhouse.
