The first picture is a view of the extension roof showing it extending 4m back from the building line. In the second, however, we can see that the roof overhangs the back wall, and here the distance is 4m plus that overhang. The shortness of the extension in first illustration ties in with the measurements I took yesterday. I raised it with the foreman and he said he had noticed it too, and that it had been checked against the overall front-to-back measurement of the extended house which showed that the slightly shorter version was correct. So we're not getting the full 4 metres, but the difference is only one row of blocks.
I brought up the side passage as well. He said that we should still have a full metre width at the back. I make the current distance from woodwork to garden wall to be 91cm at the very back. If we do lose width it won't be by much. And, of course, it'll be extra space inside the house.
The main business of the meeting, as I mentioned yesterday, was the windows. We set out our requests and it was all noted down. The site manager said he would need to take this to the window contractors and get the whole job re-quoted. That came through after lunch, and needed further amendment, as the patio doors were opening into the house instead of out, and the built-in vents were still included. One of the dimensions was wrong too. So that went straight back to the supplier, correctios and all.
Meanwhile, back on the site, the angle grinder was out first thing and the extraneous metal at the top of the piles was removed. More shuttering went up as well:
I think this is the end of it, and we now have canals to pour foundations into.
