Good progress that man, I guess the answer to the 'which hose is it' question will always be the one that's the trickiest to access. Sod's law and all that. Glad you got it fixed.

Thank you I missed you all but I am learning a lot of stuff like how much shoulders can ache and lower backs. I now also know I must learn to breath more when lifting shovelling and bar rowing stuff. Since my hernia I tend to not breath and just hold my breath and strain it means I can't do to much and need to catch my breath and rest. Not good but I feel good about what I am doing. But it's slow hard going. I don't remember projects taking this long but I haven't realy done home DIY before. Laugh out loud.

I am all excited now I am pouring concrete on sat at 8 am if all goes well with building inspector tomorrow. I have a pump and 40 meters of hose booked and 7.5 cubic meters of liquid gold I mean concrete coming. The best I can get is £1000 Getting out the ground is expensive and time consuming. Mind you it's hard having to live here also. This weekend I spread about the 150 ton of soil and clay it's lifted my bottom part of the Garden about a foot to 18 inches. A week later and it's walls time then it gets motoring. It should gather pace then. Yippee

Excellent! One step closer to getting a garage that you can fill with DAFs...
