Under Deck Storage Project

The famous under deck storage project

For those of you who haven’t yet seen the amazing feats of engineering Andy has so far carried out using only a shovel and a wheel barrow, here are a few photos to astound you.  We are waiting for a delivery of dry mix to arrive this week and then it will be all systems go again as the incredible Andy hand mixes and spreads it all below.

I think this project could well last all summer long although Andy is confident it’s just another one of those 5 minute jobs.  I am so looking forward to the completion and having a living room free of gardening, wine making, DIY tools and various other assorted paraphernalia.  But I don’t think I’m looking forward to it half as much as he is.  An opening ceremony party is in order I think.

Concreting

On Thursday, 10 May, the weather was finally good enough to allow Attila the Hungarian Concrete Mix Delivery Man to drive his little flat bed down the bumpy property to off load the mix.  Andy was ready and waiting, wheel barrow and watering cans all set, to mix and pour and level.  Our kind and helpful neighbour, Karcsi, soon appeared and spent the whole day helping.  Amazingly, another load later, and after much sweat and toil, it was all done. 

Wow, it's all finished!

Pour guys were so tired they could hardly pick up their beers!!

Didn't we do a good job?

 Thank you Karcsi for all your help.

Well done both of you !
