july 10 finally up to dpc

2 months have past, Christ time flies, saved up like mad and went to Collier and Catchpole, never spent sooooo much money before at a builders yard, brought all the bricks, blocks, sand, cement, lintels, insulation, membranes, dpc etc, so now the bank account is empty and our front drive looks like a building company overspill storage yard. but it was worth it, collier and catchpole were so helpful and ready to give advice to an idiot like me. used reject bricks up to ground level then facing bricks up to dpc on the outside, found out that the garage side does not line up with the rest of the house so the brick courses wont line up but we wont see that bit anyway. got the dpc on and really pleased. borrowed a friends cutting machine and cut the slot into the existing dpc so the new one simply slotted into the existing brickwork. so now its drainage time as got to pick up the sewer from the existing toilet and extend it out into the extension part for the new toilet area. after that Ive got to lay the hardcore down and blind it with sand, should be fun.
