Doesn't look like much at first glance, but the trench immediately to the rear of the extension, containing the new drainage pipe, has been filled in. The heap of soil excavated from it has been put back and there's now a completely flat surface there for the first time since foundation work began. To celebrate they've put a wheelbarrow on it.
They've also extended the drainage pipe which runs along the back and put in yet another new junction: that's three turns before it joins up with the existing drains.
From the other side it looks like this:
They still have to break though into that old drain and hook the whole thing up, but I'm guessing they might leave that until later.
I took advantage of the new walking space around the extension to take some measurements. It looks to me like they have got the width right, if the walls are going where I thing they're going. We also have plenty of width in the side passage, but we probably wouldn't have been able to add another row of blocks to widen the extension further. All is for the best, then.
