The Sewer Pipe Pier

Bit of warm weather and it's amazing what you can get done in the garden. I planted a sewer pipe (unused)
Drilled my concrete slab and bolted a threaded bracket down. Set up pipe over bracket on three bricks and damp isolation. Screwed a 1 meter length of M12 threaded rod to the bracket and then the levelling plate assembly. Did a solar noon alignment, tightend everything up and loaded SKII onto it to see how it all worked.
It's all wrapped up in plastic bags and towels with the head still loaded. First chance I get I can try an alignment and see how good my Nth\Sth guesstimate was.
