Soil investigation and other stuff

Today was a busy day at the house. The soil investigation was done. Nothing of great note was found other than the house it built on rubble. Don't really know if that's a good or a bad thing, doesn't sound brilliant does it?

The structural engineer also came through and had a good look at all of our cracks and our rollercoaster floor. On the whole though he thought the place was pretty solid which we were very happy to hear.

Finally, we have had a couple of builders providing order of magnitude costs for us based on a high level spec supplied to them by the architect. We just want to make sure the project is feasible and to provide us with some guidance for the next round of design. One of the builders wanted to have a look around the house so we headed over for another visit. Glad we live close by!
