I've managed to finish my job 2 days earlier than planned, so I've got the day off work today, hopefully if the phone doesn't ring too often and i'll be able to get some blocks moved closer to the pond ready for the weekend and hopefully make some room on the drive
I have a water pipe and sewer pipe to move before I can start the blockwork4600 Gallon Concrete Block and Fiberglass

Now that I've got all the blocks here I need to think about fiberglassing, I've decided who to use just need to find a way to cover the pond whilst he does the job, anyone got a marquee i can borrow for a few weeks as a temporary cover?

I little bit more done today, two pallets of blocks moved around the back to the pond and the setup lines are in for the long walls.

Drains have been redirected around the pond, just the water to move, but I didn't have enough pipe inserts to do all the joints, no surprise that Toolstation didn't have any in either

I got a bit of a system going with 3 wheelbarrows, 3 went to the front full of soil and 3 came back full of blocks, I'm running out of space to store them around the pond now so I need to start laying them

Old faithful had to come out of retirement today, don't know what I would do without her, she has been with me for almost 25 years, showing her age now

First row of blocks down, I didn't expect to get much done today, just wanted to get the first row setup, once this is down its plain sailing for a while

The water pipe has also been re routed around the pond, I've teed off to take a supply to the filter room

Quite a productive day today, managed to get the level sorted and the corners up, just finished loading up the blocks ready for tomorrow, its abit to warm for block laying, i'm having to keep them covered over so the mortar doesn't dry out to quickly

If you are wondering what the ladder is for, its the only thing I have that is straight enough to give me a level across the backLast edited by RoyLittle0; 09-07-2018 at 07:33 PM.
