Week 58, Day 5

Week 58, Day 5:

  • More progress on the ground works, back-filling behind the retaining wall and in the planters and levelling out the area by the side entrance
    • The lower section of retaining wall will be planted with ground-cover plants, and so it needs filling with topsoil and not the MOT 1 stone which can be seen in the photo, which will have to be dug out and replaced
    • This wall also needs lowering by one course of blocks so it lines up correctly with the middle step
  • A little more work on the outdoor electrics, setting galvanized steel conduit boxes into the blockwork and wiring the SWA cable into those for the outside lights and sockets
    • Most of the cables will be covered by the stone cladding
