They also put it 125. concrete piling (with rebarb) before they put the cemement pad to hold the prefab section. Yes it was sunk in a road in a swamp at the bottom of the hill. The highway blocks the drainage.

Maybe you can still catch the roof run-off without the tank being underground. Oh Tom! We have clay hardpan that keeps things from draining about three feet down too. By the time you get to five feet, you hit the ground water level and sand. The sides of the hole that's being dug gets wet and starts slumping in. But, it's buildable. Kennedy Space Center was built on property that is about as far inland as you all are.

You've got some interesting soil. So do i, near Denver... Dry sand in the front, solid light brown clay and bentonite in the back, one yard burns to a crisp, the other turns into swamp, all buildings shift on the clay. So fun! If only i could mix the two soils.

I don’t know about in England but in the USA Interest rates are low for borrowing. I’d say now would be the best time to build a new building before inflation hits and causes things to get even more expensive. Building materials just keep getting higher and don’t show signs of getting cheaper any time soon. Good luck with the new building, it will be a great investment and I can’t wait to watch your progress over the next year. Cheers.
