Now
for something completely different 2
Monday Nov 5th
The very old mixer was brought back into life then promptly
died, maybe forever, so the petrol cement mixer was brought into use. All the
concrete had to be manually shovelled and carried down into the sunken garden
and around bushes, to the under pinning holes, but was completed in the
morning.
A hired petrol post hole drilling device was put into use. Mmmm. Made up ground and big stones and slabs often won the battle. A wrecking
bar, along with manual digging, did manage to get down the 3 feet needed to
concrete the 9 foot fence posts into place. Then 2 of 6x1foot concrete gravel
boards were fitted, before lifting the 6x4 wood fence panels, to finish off each
gap. 3 completed with a host of very tired and weary folks satisfied with our
progress. Duncan made progress on completing the 2 high block wall at the
bottom of the slope and clearing the vegetation from the canal side.
