 Friday 16th 46F/7.8C [7.00] Another sunny day is promised but windy from the north again. No ride long today.

 Up at 6.30 after dozing away an unusually quiet night. 

 No updates on the gravel situation. 

 A beautiful motorcycle on a trailer at the harbour in Svendborg yesterday.

 12.00 57F/14C. Sunshine and wind. I have now accepted the lower bid of the two. Which means spending hours moving the remains of the wooden building from the site. I am ferrying it to the bottom of the garden on a sack truck. Or by hand when the item is too long. 

 The precast concrete anchors look strangely like wood now they have dried out. They have a surface grain from being pulled out of the ground.

 Hot and tiring work. I have cleared the planks against the shed. Almost finished moving the stack of plywood. That leaves the huge stack of timber to do. The steel post will have to be sawn off at or below ground level. Probably using a diamond cut-off wheel on the angle grinder. I have come in for a rest and to cool off. My t-shirt is saturated! 

 The contractor who made the bid is coming on Monday to asses the work on-site. 

 16.00 Back in again for a rest. I moved most of the plywood but ran out of steam. So I started lifting the concrete carport anchors instead. Using the farmer's high lift jack. The chain and resistance prop were the secret to getting a strong pull. With a long cross bolt through the hole in the lower jaw to stop the chain sliding off. I managed to lift 14 anchors. 

 Now I am dripping with sweat again and absolutely knackered. Tidiness is my middle name. I am wondering how to use the anchors. As edge reinforcement for the bank above the drop to the lower lawn.

 Dinner was a fry up of chicken, brown organic mushrooms, tweggs and baked beans.
