I need to allow the concrete to cure for about 5 days before I take down the supports.
Time for a rest Smiley-dancenana

How on earth do you keep things so neat and tidy Dave? You absolutely amaze me. If i tried something like that there would be piles of dirt, loose concrete and tools scattered everywhere! Smiley-eatdrink004 

You have a big industrial piping bag for concrete don't you?  Big Grin
