February 7th Concrete slab and retaining wall
What a mammoth task - seriously never lay you own slab, it is back breaking.
Laying the rio took 2 weekends to complete.
Pouring the concrete with a pump took about 4 hours.
Hard work!

Late Jan - Early Feb - Form work and lights
Got The lights in and started the formwork on the pool area.
The Grass kept getting trashed but amazing what a bit of seeding, fertiliser and water will do.
THe pool area is now ready for steel
This is lovely pile of bricks i have manually carried to the front yard.. . you will see this in a skip shortly ... ok maybe a couple of months ;-)
New ligths
