Garden-Phase2

Rich came over early on sat and we made a start on the fence posts. Due to me being ill we had to start by clearing the rest of the area, but that didn't take too long. So we were off to a good start and feeling pretty good, but not for long! Why is it when you think that a job is going to be pretty straightforward and go relatively well it always turns into problems?! Thats exactly wot happened, we had got the area nicely cleared and went about deciding where to put our first post, and thats when our problems began. We started digging an after what must of only been about two inches we hit the tarmac. Turns out there used to be a path there which is now so overgrown it just looked like mud and weeds. Anyway we used a metal spike kindly donated by a neighbour and managed to break through the tarmac and hardcore and finished the job off. We put the post in and levelled it up then concreted it in. Our spirits were slightly dampened but at least we had a post in. Unfortunately it was 12o'clock by then and Richy had to go off for a bit but promised he would be back!
