The cottage currently has no water mains or electrics so we had to dig a trench between the main house and the gite so we could run the cabling and water mains a metre under the ground to prevent freezing. The mains enters the cellar which is conveniently next to the side of the gite. There is a chimney in the cellar that we aim to drill into as it runs down the wall and will save breaking through a metre thick wall.
First job was to dig under the house wall below the render and make some test holes to try and enter through the chimney: 2nd hole was good.

Into the gite where the kitchen will be:
We hit a drainage pipe but luckily it wasnt breached and we were able to continue digging underneath it to run the pipework
