The weather cleared up enough for us to get stuck into scraping out the earth in the kitchen area. Given that this had been loose earth shovelled back in by the digger after the ring-beam was laid, it should not have been too solid, but this was not the case. We were lowering the level by about 10 cm, but it still needed a pickaxe to break it up. I had bought a little laser levelling tool when we ordered the big saw - free delivery over a certain amount meant I had to spend an extra £10, so I got a level. After a lot of fiddling around (no instructions) we worked out how to use it. Much easier than string or water levels and it seemed to work well.
