SMUG BUILDER

I must admit that I was rather pleased at myself today.

I am filling in a doorway in a large barn, and I had to start by raising the concrete foundation to the same height as that of the walls on either side. It is one of those slightly tricky jobs, where you build a wooden structure, fill it with concrete, let the concrete set, and then take the structure away again, leaving a concrete shape in - hopefully - the right dimensions.

Since this is the first time I have ever done such a thing, I was a bit nervous. But it went well. My building skills are going onward and upward.
