DIY Tuesday

You may, or may not remember that a couple of weekends ago we had a weekend at home and cracked on with a bit of DIY. 

Well yesterday it was time to unveil Liam's step and see if it had made the grade. First job was dragging it and it's box it was cast in to the bottom of the steps. No easy task as it turns out the step is really very heavy. Then we had to heave it up the steps, take the wooden shuttering away and take a deep breath and home the face was fair enough to use.

We needn't have worried. Liam's first attempt at casting concrete went really very well and we now have a step with no cracks in it. It isn't quite finished yet as the edges need grouting up but that is a job that can wait until next week.

At least now we can get to the front door without fear of falling into a gapping hole beneath the steps!
