Working with Concrete Block

[FWLR]

Rod,

I discovered that we go to clay about a foot below the surface so I could have driven longer piles/post down into the clay, and not have concreted for five of the eight legs that hold up the decking. The other three would have had to be concreted thanks to their location being in the roots of a long since deceased tree, where there was a lot of soil, and decayed wood.

FWIW, I have a construction thread running over on the 'Railways & Layouts' - "Far End Tramway - Construction Starts." It seems to be coming along OK. The current design issue is how to deal with the station throat, and the transition to ground level running.

Cheers,
Peter in VA

Thanks Peter...
