This afternoon, we went around the whole perimeter and finished marking out where the footplate is going to go. We used a can of spray black paint and an old length of CLS timber as a ruler and paint guide.

Then, we pulled out 16 lengths from our new pallet of treated 63mm CLS timber and laid a complete circuit of putting down a layer of timber to form the footplate for the inner leg of the wall structure.

We had only a small collection of left over pieces from the 16 lengths!

The next job is to drill pilot holes in the wood, then drill masonry holes in the concrete and start shoving nice wet and sticky mortar under the timber and set them at a constant height.
