Not really, I have squared up greenhouses before, it is the level I have to make sure about. Also it is easy enough to make a large right angle. The square on the hypotimus is equal to the some of the other two sides or summit like that.

Personally I would rather leave hippos to wallow in mud.

The whole thing is get everything spot on in the first place, measure and measure again is the way to do it.

paving slabs just come, so cut 2 in half and roughly laid them out to see how they fit. Next is to take them up and start to do the levelling

Yes i got through 2 cutting discs but now the area is the right size. It was a face mask and safety goggle time ., looked more like I was preparing for an outer space walk, dust everywhere.
So that is as far as I intend to go today Not used to throwing around huge concrete slabs any more

for those interested

Those slabs are heavy, the only way I can manage to move them from where they were delivered was with a sack barrow. Each one is 42kg (93 lb) in weight so not something you can throw about easily. Size 600x600x50mm (2 x 2 ft x 2 inches)

Too wet to do anything today, so it has been a case of taking more rubble to the dump at Eastbourne this time. Every little helps I suppose to get the job finished

Brenda

My working days are over this is for future enjoyment. The greenhouse is being delivered on the 17 March which just happens to be my 70th birthday.
Doing this is the start of getting the garden sorted having finished inside the house last year

Enjoy. I was only joking. That is just a number. You are as young as you feel but sometimes you have to do things slower to enjoy the world and what is in it.
