Post 35: Fence Complete, Cutting Back Sheet Piles and Rebuilding Next Door's Path
The tilt-up fence is finished. We're cutting the sheet piles down with oxy-acetylene, preparing the jetty for a stone carpet finish, and rebuilding the neighbour's tiled path layer by layer.
Post 34: Last Fence Panel, Backfilling and a Crack That Wasn't Ours
The footing is extended, the tilt panels are up and the garden is backfilled. Why we held back the last panel, how the panels lock together, and what a missing isolation joint does to a wall.
Post 33: Site Housekeeping, Wall Drainage and Panels Lifted Too Green
A walk around the site before the dewatering starts. Safe chemical storage, temporary power, the new walkway, the drainage behind the boundary wall, and what happens when precast panels are lifted too early.
