After the Corpus Domini break the excavation works have moved on the whole week long. It was necessary to add a few tons concrete wall in the pit to keep everything together, and this took a couple of extra days... however our Aushübler, Herr Bucher from Bucher & Emmenegger, did an excellent job with the retaining wall while optimizing resources, here a big thank you!
The excavation is now almost done. Here you can see how it developed during the week:
Once the natural soil floor was prepared, some tons of coarse gravel were used to create a nice, cosy 'bed' for our house:
It starts looking cosy, does it? ;-) Today we could even start walking on the boundaries of our future house and entryway!! (well, with some imagination...) :-) Next week it should be ready for the floor slab. Can't wait!!!
Have a lovely weekend Dear Reader,
All best,

Hi Cami!! :-) Thank you for your comment!
RispondiEliminaTime-laps recording..would be nice, I'm afraid we don't have a video camera, maybe we can do something with pictures though...? We'd need someone who's good with cameras... ;-)
All the very best to you!!
