Week #2 14th March

 

14/3/21

No help today, weather was nice. Bloke across the road is doing something major in his garden and has a big pile of dirt and rubble in his parking bay opposite our garage. Earlier in the week I’d asked if I could take the rubble and he’d said yes, so yesterday and this morning I took some of his rubble.

This afternoon I’ve knocked down the 90% of the wall in the garden and piled all the bricks up for use in the Gabions later. I've seen on Facebook that people have rubble that they will give you if you take it away, so rubble for the Gabions doesn’t look like an issue and I’ve also noticed that all over the estate in the bushes there’s rubble and bricks everywhere.

Bagged up some of the Ivy into smaller bags and will get rid of that sometime today and then it’s the difficult bit getting shot of all the dirt. So far it’s not cost anything. I’ve found a really good video of a big Gabion job completed on the cheap by a woman called Karen and she’s documentedthe process really well with guidance about how not to make mistakes and things you need to consider.

The dirt is the biggest issue. At the moment I’m thinking do it very slowly almost like the Great Escape film – where they dig the tunnels out and fill their pockets with the earth and get shot of it in the exercise yard pocket by pocket kind of thing? Yeah, at this point not sure what we'll do about the dirt, need to research the option - a skip maybe?
