Have you seen any foundation's around here?

One of the first jobs was to dig a couple of test holes on the foundations for the two single storey areas we were to build on top of.

We hoped the foundations would be sound to build for a second storey...hopes were dashed!

The two sections of the house we planned to build on were built in the last 25 years or so, and I can only presume these extensions were never authorised by building regs or planning permission as both sections had little or no foundations. We had a feeling this might be the case but with the changes we would have been making it was easier and made more sense to knock the two single storey sections down totally and dig new foundations.
