Summer is still present in Ballarat... still not a good time to start excavation work for pier.
Due to draught, (and type of the soil) ground is deeply cracked, see attachment.
It seems I will have to dig quite deep to ensure the concrete fundament for pier is solid enough not to move on it's own (in my Mt Waverley backyard, 70cm was enough, the pier didn't move a bit for the last 4 years).
BTW.. anyone knows where I can buy the protection for gutters as on attached picture?
This weekend we replaced the gutters on our house, and I would like to prevent clogging with leaves and other objects (we found 8 (!!) tennis balls in the old gutters, contributing to water flow problems)
