The Ground Work now commences for the Garage! We are putting in a Mass Wall foundation to hold back the soil and stabilise the concrete fence posts.
Day 1 – Saturday 24th July
Finished clearing the area. Recycled old timber (2 by 2s) and shelves to make moulds to create the segments for fixing the fence posts. They are elongated hexagon shapes 775mm wide by 300mm thick and 775mm deep (of which 325mm is visible above ground and 450mm buried down to the frost free zone).
Day 2 – Sunday 25th July
Finished the other 2 moulds. Started with Posts G1, G4 and G7 (numbered from the shed to the compost heap) to dig out the soil for placing the moulds in.
Mixed up just over 5 bags of cement and heaps of ballast to make the concrete and poured it in the three moulds!
We will wait and see if we can get the moulds off later when concrete is set!!
