I was beavering away on this "thing" and stepped back to look at it and it suddenly struck me that it llooked quite strange. I wondered what someone else would make of it if they saw it at this stage .... and then I thought of you. 
So tell me, what do you reckon I'm building here?
or
in the words of esteemed Aussie artist and stylophone maestro, Rolf Harris, "Can you tell what it is yet?"
(Points for accuracy, imagination and creativity. no points for "A concrete block wall".)

It's a good answer but it's not right.
/me makes note to design a folly castle and submit plans to local planning dept, for a laugh.

I'll post photos when there are significant developments and the game could last up to three weeks.
This is fun

Looks like the start of a summer house with bay windows.
The footig don't look very impressive though.

It's not a summerhouse.
The foundations for those walls are 900mm wide and 230mm deep. That might give you a clue about the final heights.

A waterfall?
A grotto?
A Hobbit house?
An observatory?

A quick update on the scoreboard
... and it shows Bludall opening up an impressive early lead on the points tally.
I can tell you it's not an observatory but I really like that idea!
