Spent yesterday and today levelling and tidying up the grounds in front of the garage and the storage shed to get them ready for laying down an asphalt hard-core layer of around 100mm thick to produce a water resistant surface.
This will reduce the muddy conditions for both boots and tyres especially some of our more heavy deliveries!
We will cut a temporary trench across from the shed and half way towards the Loke and fill it with clean stones to act as the soak-away for the new surface to drain into. On top we will lay a line of paving slabs that we have lying around to provide a friendly path for visitors to our “new” front door when we move into the temporary accommodations !
The new surface will provide a firm and clean ground to store our timber and sheet wood long term as they arrive and needed for the build.
