Day 8 Intensive Week - Build Top Half
We started the day building up the bottom halves of the planters we had built yesterday. The first job was to screw the planks onto the bases to create the 'false bottoms' to hold the soil. We used all the drills available and managed this quickly, so once we had done this we were able to lift the corners of each planter and place them onto the paving slabs we had chiseled into size in the morning, to raise the wood of the ground and prevent them from rotting. We then moved on to building the top halves, repeating the steps from yesterday for the bottom halves and lifting them onto the planks. The final step of the day was to add the waterproof membrane and drains to the center of each false bottom to prevent water from pooling within the membrane. By the end of the day, we had finished all 8 planters and made the bases of the benches, ready to fill the planters tomorrow and make the top of the benches!
