Mirinda wanted to see the trench from the house so I’ve included this photo I took yesterday. It’s not from the patio because you don’t really see anything beyond the shrub circle.
It was a grey, dull and awfully grim day but Dave and his mate battled on. They arrived at 8ish and set the cement mixer going. I left them to it and went shopping.
I returned to find them hard at it so I rang mum and dad and had a lovely long chat which culminated in a successful repair to their browser toolbar.
But back to the path…Through the day the guys laid a membrane along the trench then a concrete ledge down both sides. This is for the side bricks to sit on. Then, once this had started to dry off, they filled the rest of the trench with hard core. Late in the day, they finished by flattening the hard core with a vibrating plate.
It’s really starting to look like a path now. I assume the bricks start tomorrow.
I took a few photos after they’d finished today but it was quite dark and starting to rain so the images are a bit dim. Here’s the best one anyway.
In other house improvement developments…I have an electrician coming tomorrow to quote on some work and the new boiler will be fitted on Friday. I was also told today that we have two viewings on Saturday now. It’s all go around here this week.
Looking good!!! it is so good to be able to click off to the last page, Love to my very clever son from his mum
