Well there has been a little progress today. Whilst out the other day I noticed a skip with some board that would make some good Shuttering for the foundations, so this morning I went to ask. Skip still present thankfully. Good haul I thought, loads of Bricks in it as well. But think I am OK for Bricks.
This is the view from the other end and shows the Shutering in Place but also the Dodgy Step Over I am working on to eliminate. The Track around where the Green Bucket is being the impossible to get at to clean without the Step Over.
View from the other end again.
Now with the first layer of CarpCrete. CarpCrete is a mix of the Sifted Stones, some very fine Sifted Earth and Cement at about 3/1/1. This was what had been dug out as I cleared the site on the first day of this work. Mixed not too damp and I noticed it was drying very quick, so the next Bucket Full was mixed good n sloppy. Proper Ballast will finish off the first level of Foundation. Nothing goes to Waste around here. Some more foundations will go in Left to Right for the Steps.
