We finished the preparation tasks, in readiness for the ready mixed concrete coming Monday.
We went around all the trenches and making sure we can work alongside every stretch of it with our new patting and scraping tools. Plus we sliced off the excess “sticking up” bits of the pegs that are holding the shuttering in place.
And finally, we went around double checking the depth and where necessary, adding more sand to make up the level properly, it was quite a lot actually, probably about 100 to 150 litres of extra sand we had to put in which means reducing the risk of running out of concrete.
But we will see on the day!

Oh yes, we made two more patting tools, this time, 1 metre wide versions to do the pads and the front trench, both being a metre wide.
