No Half Steppin


We got off to a bit of a slow start today, I spent ages fiddling around trying to get the back corner hooked up neatly and Nick had been so hopped up on Brewers Yeast all week he came down with a crash and had to go inside for a sleep.



After Nick had woken up we decided for a change of scene and decided that today might be a good day to shift the pile of rubble to level off the floor.



All the big bits of concrete that we had broken up from the original patio were on the top of the heap, we laid them down first then got down to all the fine dust to do the fill-in that came out of our Inglenook smashing earlier in the year.



Just checking the levels of the big bits.



All nicely filled in now, we decided that it would probably be a good idea to figure out the steps were going so we could fill in up to the edge.



This is the rough position they're going to sit in. Big problem though, I realised that I should have broken up that extra bit of concrete when I had the power breaker. It's just going to have to be by hand...



Half an hour of concerted leathering and we finally managed to break through - that was really hard work!
