I'm not sure whether the string marks the middle, inside or outside edge of the trenches to be dug. In the photo you're looking at the front left corner of the house. This is where the stairs are located.

Nice square corners for our house.
A close up of the preparations for digging the foundation trenches. Tools you will need: is that a "square" for checking right angles? And some kind of weird looking hammer for fixing the posts in the ground I'm guessing. The reason I have to guess is that we are renting a house 25 minutes from the building site so we don't get to see what happens every day.
