Weekend project: fixing up the garden one step at a time! 🏠 #homeimprovements #diy #gardenprojects
Re-gravelled, replaced bricks, and got a new recessed manhole cover in place (with a little help from Oliver—enthusiasm levels high, mess levels higher 😆).
Almost there—just need the cement to dry before adding the final gravel touch!

You don't want it to be plumb because water will sit on it and your cover will rust.
Waste of time 😞

Plumb refers to vertical, level is horizontal buddy.
So cool working with your enthusiastic son, you're a blessed man. On a side note that would be one helluva hiding spot for something valuable.
Concrete doesn't dry, it cures, the water forms part of the chemical reaction.
Level not plumb, also that’s going to be a solid block of ice in the winter.
Ive been a bricklayer since i was 17 im now 44 and thats a sound job dont let the youtube knockers tell you differently
Wear gloves. You are working on a drain
Lickle? Dear me.
Why is it so high compared to ground level?
Whats with the 3levels??…
Idiot!
Few years time if you need to open it the whole cover and frame will lift up. Not enough mass on that type of frame to keep it down
