It's a ploy, and Mrs Schlem is getting him to dig his own grave
The grave is for my 17 yr old lad. He had a ****in paddy yesterday morning and slammed the door so hard one of the hinges came away and badly split the frame.
Spent half an hour yesterday repairing the frame and re hung it this morning.
Cascamite is fantastic stuff.
Done for the day. Ready for concrete.

you just gonna pour concrete into it like that? No framework for the step?
That's how foundations work. Did a bigger version when I built my extension and the building inspector seemed happy.
Anyway, my neighbour just gave me some rebar. Probably doesn't need it but may aswell hoy it in.

Ah, I get what you're saying now. Concrete founds first then brickwork up to step level.
The rebar won't hurt, it'll make it stronger, although it isn't a big step, so don't need it... I'd still put a wood frame around the step, but like the rebar, in a small job, it isn't necessary
Can't see the need for any sort of framework. The hole is the framework for the concrete. The concrete ain't going anywhere near above ground level so no need for shuttering.

My dad made planters out of tyres on steel wheels back in the day. Cut down the middle with the stihl saw. Turn inside out. Perfect.

Had a pair of great tits in mine but I don't think they fledged.

Local riverside walk just up from the steps. Repaired the stile, the wooden fence and made a dog gate for the bigger dogs that can't handle the stile.
All from timber reclaimed from the river.
