Decided to build something rather complex as a first project and it's proving challenging at ever step of the way, but I'm really proud of how it's turning out.

We'll have a lot of work to clean the joints but it's going to be worth it I think. Something for the generations to come, if it doesn't collapse :-)

Awesome work, and a fantastic idea in the first place.

Were you planning to bury a life-size skeleton wearing a construction worker's outfit nearby?

Either way, do post updates please!

It all began as a "quick and easy project to learn the ropes before making the bigger construction elements" (retaining wall, stair, maybe pool even), and then we started looking at hobbit houses, fancying nicer materials, adding an alcove... It now feels like it will be the most complicated thing in the whole garden ^^'

Glad to be of service. 😁

If the cellar as your first project looks that cool, I can't wait to see the rest of the house. This is going to bring you decades of joy for sure.
