Today, we finished off moving the concrete blocks, all 420, yes all four
hundred and twenty concrete blocks on 7 pallets. These are the narrow 140mm
hollow blocks and we moved them all over to our swimming lane to serve as
support piles for holding stacks of OSB sheets and the CLS timbers as well.
Plus also the odds and ends we rescued from the dismantling of the old
little cottage, and any other bits and pieces we have around the site like
old pallets etc.
But first, as you can see in the picture below, some of the support piles
are taller than others and the reason for this is to allow us to lay a sheet
of OSB on these taller piles and bridge the gap to the dirt behind the back
wall of the swimming lane. This will allow us to use the mini digger to dump
more dirt without spilling any into our nice and clean swimming lane! The
gap needs filling up again after the soil has settled down and washed down
in the recent rainfalls. This is exactly what we wanted to see and therefore
we are putting more dirt up there to make sure it is all settled and solid
to hold the fence posts sturdily, especially the workshop section where we
need to rebuild the fence again.
