Concrete for the footings / pads comes tomorrow so today Darren returned to dig the approximately 1 metre cube holes for the base of each pillar. Bulk excavated by digger, then 'mandraulically' by a Darren who is far fitter than I am :bugeye: Time was when I could do that sort of thing but not now sadly :scratch: The 'Volumetric' concrete lorry carries 9 cu metres so we will probably be short and need to mix some ourselves |

I don't do a lot of concreting but when I do I always come up short. Luckily for me it's always temporary works so not so critical. I bet that you'll be at least 2 cubes shy and have to bring another wagon in later. Those dug shutters always seem to swallow up more concrete. |

Hi there, Andrew, The weather forecast for tomorrow for TN33 looks a bit soggy - especially the afternoon & evening. I hope you get the concrete placed before the site gets too quagmire-ish!! |

Usually we get less than they forecast so you never know ! |
