Small gains

Not much time could be devoted to the amazing new project this weekend but yours truly did manage to escape painting the boiler room for a brief spell and start to move the dirt from the drain and take stock of the level playing field. Level... well considering this concrete was laid for me when I was laid up having my arm put back together in 2007, I don't think Karl, for it was he who did it ably assisted by Mark, could have got it any less level without actually putting a lot of effort into it. It is 3 metres wide at the narrow end, and across that 3000mm there is a drop of 

approximately 400mm, or two steps 

or one bucket. This has caused a slight rethink in how whatever it is that is to adorn the slope is indeed level as thats what it needs to be. One slight rethink later and an order given to the local builders merchant the remedy is on its way.
