On the way back to load the machine into his van, he was waylayed by the chicken, who wanted the concrete surrounding a rotten gate post broken out. :lol: To Pete a great big thank you for an excellent job :thumbup: :thumbup: |

Yeah that concrete was a lot tougher than the surface finish led you to believe. Some spots were a bit soft but others were very hard. Lot of flint in it. |

Knowing that you inherited the old tank I was wondering if you know what its original purpose was for? Would have made an ideal test bed for a small hovercraft. :nrocks: Dave |

The farm was originally owned by Hastings Water Board, and it's part of their infrastructure last used in the early 1960's - water was settled then pumped out for treatment. |

No progress on Mr Shed Builder, however one thing that has to happen before the frame goes up, is to trim an oak tree that juts out over the site. Oddly this tree has previously been trimmed back on the west side by a previous owner - this is convenient as it's where the containers are, but the tree has been left rather lop sided. Now spring being here the tree is coming into bud, and the pruning needs to happen before it's in full leaf. |
