Footings and soakaway preparations

Week Three.
 
Work was completed on digging out all the soil to the necessary depth today. Now work is starting in digging down to create a soakaway - I hadn't realised that this involved digging an area down another five feet in order to put plastic honeycomb cages in. The lovely dark soil was finished and they were down to a chalk and clay mix - not great.
 
The black plastic crates are for the soakaway which will be a further five feet down into the ground
The hole starting for the soakaway - note the change in soil type - much harder to dig!
