July 10 - Drainage done

No pics as its a pipe coming through the wall and a little difficult to describe but here goes. Broke through the concrete floor in the down stairs toilet to find the sewer, disconnected the toilet and broke a hole through the side wall. Connected the new length of sewer pipe by a 'flexifit' connector and at the other end a 90 Deg bend to take it up to the new toilet (when fitted). It looks ok, but now got to wait for the inspector and fingers crossed it will be passed together with the brickwork up to DPC. So I guess its watch this space.
12 July, DPC and sewer works approved by Council. Made up a load of concrete at the weekend so filled up to 200mm below DPC between the 2 wall skins with concrete, sloping outwards. Also bedded the sewer pipe in concrete and the hole in the downstairs loo up to screed level. Had the plumber round today, 1st class service and reasonably priced, downstairs loo and sink gone, existing hot and cold feed pipes now extended through wall and capped off ready so at least once the extension is done there is a water supply ready. Now its hardcore time, time to break up my supply of rubble and move it from end of garden to extension area, its raining, its a filthy job, oh joy :(
