Today, despite the rain, has been pretty produce. As you can see from the picture that it still looks like a bomb has hit it but I can clear all that while I am waiting for the footings to go off - as long as where I need to dig the footings are clear for me to work.
Apart from semi-leveling the area I have been setting out where the footings are going to go. This has been a major headache because around two thirds of the bungalow is still standing and I have to keep to the same footplate and eventually meet with two chimneys. Since I have to knock these two chimneys down and rebuild them I do have some leeway. Even though, it took ages to mark it out because the part of the bungalow that is still standing doesn't have true corners. If I had knocked the whole lot down in one go it would have saved a lot of head scratching and swearing today!
Another little job I have been doing today it removing some of the outer brick pillars that the original structure stood on) - you can still see some in the picture. Little tip - I have been cleaning the mortar off these bricks and stacking them for future projects because its a thankless task facing a huge pile of bricks and doing them all in once go.
