I have just dug the footings for my side extension and about 3' down I hit clay
which is what I expected. The building inspector turned up today and started poking
his rod in and saying how soft it was.
Well it wasn't soft when I dug it out yesterday but it rained yesterday evening and
when I got up there was a couple of inches of water in the trench so it has obviously
softened the ground and now he is talking about structural foundations.
I would just like a bit of advice from people with experience of this situation please.
