Building start - Breaking ground

Time to start.
The house ceremony is planned for first of November, but that doesn't stop the newly arrived workers to start digging. The soild was to hard to dig by hand, so the builder ordered in a digger. Here is a collection of pictures from the first digging day.
Checking heights - very important

Digging, the holes will be 1.5 meter deep.

Inspecting

There will be high piles of soil on the land

Digger, Japanese quality.

Packing sand at the bottom of hole.

Frames for the first layer of concrete. 
In Sweden we use polystyrene sheets instead.

Concrete work.

More inspections

Checking height.

There will be many holes. 25 platforms will be used to hold up the house.
Some holes will have more than one platform.

OK, first layer done in this hole.


Quite a lot was done after just one days work.

Blueprint

The first version of the blueprint. About half of the house is one floor, the bedrooms are raised as a second floor with mostly open areas below (laundry and outdoor relax area). I guess there will be some small changes here and there during the building process, but in general this is the house. Even if it looks like that, we will not have any cars under the bedroom.

Community water

Perfect timing. The community have started to dig and mount water pipes right outside my fence, so I will get water from both the well and the community = no future water problems!
