Already hit a snag; whilst digging the foundation trenches, discovered that our neighbour’s side return infill extension was built by cowboys with zero footings, so we now have to dig and pour our trench foundation in stages (taking much longer), or dig a perpendicular trench and embed a steel beam (more expensive)…
Yep, front and back. Was nothing wrong with their brickwork before either.
We’ve got pebbledash blighting the front of ours, gonna get it removed which reluctantly involves grinding the brick faces down a tad. Will have the bricks soot-washed to tone down the custard-yellow.
No going back now 😬
