chimney fitted to the slab from the video spot on level even across 12 metres and lined up perfectly

20mm mesh those rebar guns are the mutts nuts

new job started monday

retaining wall failed. previous owner fancied himself as a builder built his in H block laid flat and no concrete fill, no engineer consultation. so weve gotta fix it, dig out then a reinfoced concrete wall tied into the existing to support it and weep holes cut in,
