We are extending the ring beam at the back of the house backwards onto solid hill. By doing this we almost double the size of the second floor. It also means that the roof/floor slab extends over the back wall and onto solid ground - this will add to the stability of the slab and alleviate some potential concerns due to the span of slab that would have had to have been supported by the backwall alone. We had envisioned this phase during the initial casting of the ring beam and had left steel extending to allow us to do the extension - the steel is thus continuous right onto solid ground.
We cast one side today and should finish the other tomorrow.
