My favorite view of the work is the one below, that shows the finished top floor base slab and the view, with the digging equipment up the hill from the front of the house.
Looking at the ground floor columns and this base slab reinforces [pun intended] my security in the strength of the construction.

The remainder of the pictures from today show some of the heavy work relocating soil from in front to behind the house to make the terrace levels.
(I’m not quite sure what the reinforcing steel bars shown in the last photos are for. I’m sure we’ll find out in the coming days.)
