Stage one complete

Last night I went to bed with the concrete setting. I had a busy day planned for Saturday and wasn't sure if I was going to get any time for finishing the garden.

Woke up early today and headed down to Chris's place to wait for Sticky. The plan was to get dropped at Cambridge and kayak back to Hamilton. Why? You ask. Because a good friend of mine had recently placed several caches along the river. It was a beautiful day to be on the water and after a couple of hairy moments in the twirly currents we were back in Hamilton. 26.5km in 3 hr 40 min.

Once home I was convinced that the garden would not get seen to today. After several sandwiches, two muffins, Christmas cake and a nap I was feeling revitalised.

I got my 2 I.C to give me a hand and between the two of use we soon had the side posts attached, level and looking good.

Building a veggie garden

Have wanted a veggie garden for a long time and now it's happening.

Went to Thompsons ITM yesterday and had a look at what timber I could use.   Ended up getting 100x100 posts to use for the sides.

Got stuck in and ended up getting both sides level and ready. All I needed now was the timber for the front and some concrete. Oh and nails.  Was super lucky that Kevin was able to give me a hand today and get the timber, these ones were a little bit to long for the car.

Got stuck in and checked and double checked the levels and distances. Held my breath and concreted the post in. Once they set it will be time to nail one side together then work on getting the front perfects.
