Day 20 - preparing pad foundations

We were only on site for a couple of hours today because of the rain, the kids being around and needing to sort out some of the details for the next phase of the project. But we did accurately lay out the positions and base height of the perimeter posts - using the old fashion methods of triangulation with two long measuring tapes, and a long board and level.

We then prepared the basic formwork for the 15 pads - most of them 1m x 1m square, with a bit of extra digging in some places and some filling in in others.
