Preparation is paramount
Or something like that.
Measured up the wall that needs replacing, 7.5 meters long and then up to 2 meters tall should work.
So on Friday afternoon late, Mickey, Sam from no 7 and I moved the old Shed Caravan that is full of truck parts away from Mickeys side hedge as the woodwork shed needs a new front veranda and new roofing felt.
Of course, typically it has exposed more work to be done.
2.8 meter Galvanised posts came from Germany over 10 years ago when @Oldbus delivered the Taunus Transit to me.
They will now be used for the carport as planned.
Not easily seen is the way the paving has collapsed over time, Mickeys yard is about 500mm lower than mine, and the soil was obviously not compacted well 9 years ago when it was done.
So this will mean lifting about 1 meter of paving along the boundary, digging out, compacting and possibly putting some concrete down, adding blocks to create either a low wall, or stable base for the paving to go back down.
Seems the list keeps growing.
Saturday morning early, before heading over to @Johnnybravo to collect the cement mixer, I decided to hack back the hedge hard while I had some,time.
How to maximise a wheely bins capacity.
More later.
Time for some woodwork and shed repairs now.
Later.
