Stepping Up!

The much anticipated steps have been installed at the bottom of the terrace. Routed timber shavings neatly swept and gathered into a bucket. Shavings then sprinkled over garden beds, hopefully, to deter bugs and pests from their would be floral meals. Poles measured and then cut to size with the chainsaw. Guided by the two workers long screws bit deep into the timbers. With each screw bedded the steps began to reveal their elaborate design. A very wet concrete mix poured into the extra holes. All grey and very, very soggy. So soggy in fact that the mix had to be bailed of extra water. Next, we'll need a backhoe to level the terrace. I took pictures of the view that I'll soon enjoy as I tread those timbers. Long and hard work but it has been worth the wait.
