We have done the job of mortaring and setting the Footplate into the right height position, now all the way around the external wall.

We mixed up two more loads of mortar, one in the morning and the 2nd one in the afternoon. When we had finished the walls we had some mortar left so we filled in one of our drainage sump holes (it ended up above water most of the time).

The laser level guide was doing a marvellous job, Sitting proud on its platform in the middle of the floor.

We push the mortar cement mix under the plank, and then bash the wood down to squash out the excess mortar.

Now we wait for the next delivery of building materials to arrive, mainly the two pallets of the long CLS timber as we need those pieces, the 89mm wide one for putting on two more layers on the external wall on top of the wood planks we have just been bedding down, and the 63mm wide CLS pieces to form the footplate for the inner wall position.
