November - planning and building and stuff

Friday 1st November  2013
Day off work.  Went to allotment in between the rain - took a 3x3 metre squared frame.  Did a bit of digging - got very rained on.  Such is life.

Saturday 2nd November 2013
Went with Phil to bring back some of the paving slabs.

Sunday 3rd November 2013
Again, a trip to get more paving slabs - almost there.  Note to self - 2 x 2' is more than big enough for paving slabs.  3 x 2' are not manageable.   Fetched the bottom of the IBC for Phil to do some construction work on the base with.

Sunday 17th November 2013
Tired after last night's gig but today is IBC base setup day so we transported two 3 x 2' slabs and the pre constructed base in two parts in the missus' zaffy to the allotment.  Using the recently purchased garden cart we got it all up in four trips.   We dug out the base, checked it with the spirit level and put the two slabs down and then the base went on top of that.
Base on two 3x2' slabs that are perhaps a fraction small, really.

IBC tank in place - still work to be done though.


We still need to box it all in to prevent Algae and then plumb it in to get water off the roof.
