On Monday we went to Preveza for the results of the little gynacaeological operation I had two weeks ago, and everything was fine. Probably not the best time to have taken up wall building, though!
On Tuesday, Rob came to help. Dave had started digging out the drainage ditch that will surround the concrete foundation. Concrete wicks up water, and it will dam any groundwater that comes up against it. The answer is to install a 'French Drain' - a rubble trench with a pipe at the bottom. The pipe has holes drilled in it and slopes away, so rain water is directed away from the site.

Look, son, this is how you do it ...
