stuff you're doing while at home

i've fitted a ceiling fan light in my back room (office?) this morning, much better than the noisy pedestal fan we had there. also ordered 20 x 1 metre lengths of rebar off ebay to reinforce the 'footings' along the side of my new garage over the road. i't's about 2 foot 6 inches higher at what will be floor level compared to the other side of the gravel boards where the garden used to slope down towards the house. i'm going to lift the top (3rd) gravel board up slip some steel plate with a 2 inch lip over the second and drop the 3rd back onto the steel. the steel will get fixed to the rebar which i'll drive down into the ground about a foot back from the gravel boards and it'll all form part of the 'footings' stopping the slab pushing/bulging the gravel boards out onto the garden below. as the slab and footings will be pushing down onto the plate that's hooked over the gravel boards it can't go anywhere.
neil.
