Having moved the various concrete beams, Jon and Alisdair set about removing the first few rows of breeze block. They wanted to do this so that the top of the walls would be covered by a reasonable depth of soil and therefore not visible when grassed over. The pit had been well constructed and this proved to be the toughest job but they worked out a system using a lump hammer and pickaxe. We were all quite amused when Jon was splattered by a brick dropping into the depths of the solid tank. Alisdair saw it coming and I have never seen him move as quickly!
Continuing the recycling scheme, the concrete beams were layed across the entrance to the garage which had become very muddy.
Jon filled in the pit with some of the rubble from the shower block. The soil that had been dug out of the ground originally was piled to the side of the pit and was used too. Jon intends to make a grass bunker feature hence the depression.
So that was our holiday project and we hope you have found it informative.
