Now that Josh has moved in place the big rocks that define one boundary of the garden bed, I have started soil building. I am using the lasagne method of laying down a thick cardboard base, soaking it well then adding layers of 'green' and 'brown'.
But first I dug out all of the rocks and stones in the garden bed area. All of these came out of that one small bed.
This bed is west of the walk way to the pergola. I'm not sure what I will plant here but I don't need to do the research just yet because the soil building will take a while.
Meanwhile, Josh has painted the doors for the Garden Sheds. I like the clever way he has held the doors while painting them.
AND he has started the footings for the shelving in the sheds.
Whoopee, the Excalabor guys are back.
The sheets of glass were carried on the side of the truck with little cork spacers to stop the panes from touching and to absorb the travel vibration.
This safety glass has been cut to size then all of the edges ground smooth and rounded.
It took quite a while for all of the stickers to be taken off, the cork squares to be pulled off then all of it polished spotless before being installed.
Meanwhile, back at the Garden Shed site, Josh has set up several workstations for constructing shelving.
Taylor has come back. He has carried lots of loads of coarse gravel up to the site and is now levelling the base frames for the cabinets.
The first lot of shelves have been built. These are to hold small tools where they will be kept dry. This is the Power Tool Shed.
In the same location in the other shed, the Garden Shed, Josh has built a frame to hold gardening tools upright.
Inside the 2 dry sheds, we are leaving all of the plywood unfinished so there is no maintenance in the future. It will take on the patina of a place well used.
