Room for one more?


here we go down another hole, this one again is underpinning of a party wall, with an unusual, for a victorian building, proper foundations below the splayed footings of the wall, which extend about 700mm below the footings. When I say proper, it's a lot of brick and stone thrown into a trench and covered with a very weak mix of cement. This is unusual for this type of building which would normally be built straight on top of the clay. This pin is 2.4M deep, and about 1.3M square, Carl, my able assistant, models this hole perfectly!
