I'm surprised that you don't have clay just under the surface, you must be in the only part of Bedfordshire built on sand.
So were the builders! Lots of sand quarries in Leighton Buzzard thoughhornetrider said:
Any more updates... been a while, I'm guessing there has been progress?
Reached a bit on an impass... we had building control out this morning to check the first trench that had been dug (due to the ground) they've now told us they need a full application.This is in despite of us having full planning permission and following the rules (within 1m of the boundary and made of non-combustable materials)

What does "A full application" mean?The only change was to make the foundations 600 wide
Concrete for the foundations are being poured tomorrow
Garage floor & shed base went down yesterday and are trying well (Despite Bedfordshire being hit by a big thunderstorm over night):
Monday's job is sorting out the neighbours fence (i've said i'll replace it as our dog can jump it) and the non Tuesday the walls for the garage will start going up

We have walls!
Works continues:
Almost time for the lintel (need 1 more course from memory) and the final view courses to get us to the 2.5m roof height.
Roof trusses should be delivered on Wed and the fence panels are coming on Monday:
Also need a couple more gravel boards! (we're replacing the neighbours tired old fence at the same time).
