Foundation footing casting ongoing. The depth of the foundation excavation is 18" deep and the land slopes slightly in two directions so the foundation will be stepped accordingly. The thickness of the foundation footing is 4inches but to ensure a leveled and plumb surface for the foundation blockwork, it varies a bit but just slightly.

Work has resumed back on site after negotiations were concluded on issues raised. The columns have been worked on and casted. We used left-over materials from the foundation footing and only purchased 16mm and 10mm reinforced iron with binding wire.

Back-filling of the foundation pit is also in progress and for this stage we decided to apply the *principle of killing 3 birds with one stone* to achieve one of our major aim for this project, making building cost as minimal as possible without compromise on quality and building standards. 1. Make available backfilling material and cut down on cost of procurement. 2. Make available storage for water and eliminate cost on leasing a water tank. 3. Construct our septic tank and soak-away while achieving the two goals above. It took a while to convince the client as he wasn't ready to construct the septic tank/soak-away yet based on his cashflow but after carefully analysing the pros and cons and long term benefits, he saw reason and is genuinely glad now. So far, we have been able to fill 3 pits with just 4ft depth of excavation and we are goin down to 8ft and we haven't dug the soak-away yet.

Four bays have been filled so far and the soakaway digging has commenced. We estimate we will be able to fill up one more bay with the excavated sand and then we can buy filling sand for the 3 remaining bays.

The perimeter wall work is ongoing and we are laying just 500 blocks for now. There was a dispute over the land boundary and the surveyor made an error which resulted in having just 4feet setback at the rear instead of the 6feet earmarked.
