A concrete box with no escape

Posted by Fay Plumb on 27th November 2009

 

Since my last entry all efforts have gone into constructing the basement walls. There was a brief interlude one day when the gas utility company descended on us to finally remove the forlorn gas meter and install a new one for the existing house but otherwise, huge amounts of effort and time have gone into constructing the shuttering for the basement walls, filling them with concrete, removing the shuttering and then waterproofing them.

Fay and her husband are taking on a new-build next door to their grade II thatched cottage. They want to achieve the ‘normal height’ rooms they are lacking presently and make the most of the surrounding views. Their plans for a basement will also create the extra space they desperately want.
