The Foundations

Real Garden Ovens are incredibly heavy and therefore need good foundations.  Unfortunately digging a hole during the wettest summer on record means it soon fills up with water!  Comments on Facebook included "Is that a moat for the dog castle?"

It wasn't meant to be like this but the skip that should have turned up on Saturday.... Monday..... Tuesday and eventually arrived on Wednesday meant Alan and Bryan had missed 3 dry days.  Oh well, a dryer than usual mix meant we soon had the foundations ready to begin building the base.
