Aww yuusss Christmas came fucking early my friends.
Clearing out a back corner i notice hey, there's a path under here. Well i gotta clear it for the eventual pool hall anyway, and i'm on the hunt for concrete chunks to crazy pave the bbq area, so let's do this, biiiitch.
The 'path' is a bunch of gravel loosely held together by kykuyu-riddled cement that's four grains off mortar and gone to utter shit. Levers up in segments that explode into 50-7mm chunks as soon as you drop 'em.
Well i gots me a retaining wall that i need to finish filling behind with aggregate and all this removal has left me a lovely fat hole that's perfect for a bunch of clay-heavy excavation i'm running out of storage tubs for (soil goes into The Heap). Perfect to stuff that shit into with a bunch of gypsum and compost and by the time we dig it back out for the cement slab it'll be delicious soil for my garden beds.
And i even got some decent chunks for my paving out of it.
W00t fuckin w00t.
