what are you building there tony. I am a bit confused as the footings do not join onto the existing building. Is it an out house??

because of the services all being 450-750 mm away from the house we hand dug around them today and lintelled into the existing brickwork with R15s
it is a living room for a disabled person ,his existing living room will be converted to a bedroom and his dining room to a special shower room
he has been waiting 8 years so him and his family are over the moon to see us

Thanks Tony. Mick is great not spoke to him for a week or so though.
I will be pointing granite with Gftk 850 basalt.
I have always loved natural stone and if I had my way would only lay york stone or granite setts as i love laying it.
Keeps you strong and saves gym fees lol
