Thought for the day :"Concrete and glass are mainly made of sand so Skyscrapers are just giant sand castles"
Monday and the sun was shining for the morning - so decided that the concrete slab was what was required - so checked all the shuttering - started up the electric concrete mixer and worked out how to tip the wheel 9 a use of WD40 was required). Pumped the tyre on the wheelbarrow thaT could not take the weight - not sure that I was going to manage either!
Managed to get the concrete mix set at 1: 2: 4 ( cement : sand : chippings ) and set up a system - but it is still tiring!!
Starting point - open area and nothing done
And sadly - the day got away from me
Only a couple more barrows I reckon but the daylight was fading and so was I !!
I think that the job will be finished tomorrow as long as the rain stay away ..
After I finished - the skies opened!!
So - YouTube wins twice today - firstly adjusting the door on the wood burner in the kitchen , and then checking the ratios for the slab...
Susie managed to get some walls for her raised beds re- built - will check for photos tomorrow.
A day of physical exhaustion - so will leave it there tonight
Cheers!
