After a lot of sweating and swearing, almost all the roots and stones that are in the way of our foundation have been removed, and the trenches for the lower levels are dug.
Before the thrilling moment of he first pouring of the first slab for the first footing Maud had our old American friend & fellow Morwa-inhabitant LJ over for inspection and advice because he has loads of experience with construction. Thanks to LJ the footing is now well reinforced, so as to carry our Fort Knox.
Here the guys are building the wall for the lowest level of foundation. This one won't be filled because we decided to make a cellar-like double super secure storeroom with concrete ceilings.
It's amazing how our son Bashi always manages to get things level. This three stock bricks wide wall will have to support the concrete slabs that will be the ceilings to the storerooms and at the same time the floor to the first halves of the living room and kitchen. We'll try to make some pictures that give an overview of the layout of the house into the hill later this week.
