1 Workshop no 1, roof removed for clarity
2 View as seen when I had plenty of wood and solid fuel central heating.
3 Looking in from above, the wood was sycamore and ash.
4 View of the journey to work!
5 Workshop no. 1 full of junk and flowers.
6 Inside w'shop 1, only 30 tonnes of compacted glacial deposit to remove before I can cast the floor. When digging out the subsoil and levelling the floor so that it was below the level of my kitchen I realised that I was below the level of the 3 foot thick walls. Reinforcing slabs will have to be cast to support the walls.
7 There's always one! Actually there were 3 boulders in inconvenient places.
8 Tried crowbars, picks etc and it still wont move, let's hope the whole wall doesn't move with it.
9 I moved boulder by undermining it and then used a Tirfor.
10 It moved easier when it was in 3 pieces. "Is this from the Ladybird ..." View Comments...
11 Reinforced concrete retaining wall was needed as I had excavated up to 3 feet below the wall.
12 Reinforcing bars and A252 mesh were used in a C20 mix.
