Hi Chrissy
Looks like you're doing a good job there.
Did you manage to get a close up of the guy stealing your water butts while you had your camera handy?

The gnome/thief I think is marking out where the block filter will go.
The area behind the garage will be the filter bays 2 off with a walkway inbetween containing all pipework and a window in each settlement chamber also 2 bottom drains to flush to waste, topped off with decking and a summerhouse. The triangle area will be the pond, total gallonage approx 7,000 gals, 6ft deep, skimmer to sieve. heated by gas boiler/exchanger.
Don't know much about all the technical stuff

Hi Chrissy.
What type of blocks are you using light weight of heavy weight.
Its great to get the digging out of the way, as things can start happening.
Best of luck with the project.

They are the dense blocks 1,000 of them all carried through the garage to the build area ready for the brickies on Monday, the concrete base is going in on Saturday. It makes my arms ache just looking at them,
so glad I was not the one moving them.
Onwards and upwards. Yeah.

I'm sure you are doing very well Jason with your build, believe me if I was doing the job myself I would still be removing the top soil.
