Today at 11:00 I started digging out to the final depth. I had to take into account room for a sand filled base, to aid stable support for the liner and ease of levelling.
The work on the face of it although appearing simple was made all the harder by finding large jagged rocks at the crucial level. I dug them out with difficulty as the surrounding clay had a good hold on them. Once I had succeeded, I had to fill in the holes to maintain stability for the liner. They had to go as I was concerned that they may puncture the liner once filled with water
I had to lay the liner in the hole many times to check for fit and level. It was hard to see under the liner as the sun was very bright making dark shade, but I got there in the end.
By 14:00 I was done and so needed to take a breather. I went indoors, rested with a cuppa, then proceeded to search online for suppliers of sand at economic cost so that I can back fill.
Luckily Zigzag quarry is close by.
