After a week's delay, the chippies have started. Up go the posts out of the rear deck. And they have placed the ant cap and wall plates of the wall. Then it started to rain. The posts required 3 guys to put up.
The secret of getting the holes aligned for the post holders is to drill from each side and then use a hammer to strike them through. Some of them required more force than others.
To place the wall plates and capping, they pre-drilled the wall plates and then masonary hammered through the ant cap and into the blockwork. They drilled the holes for the nut a bit too small so they needed to go around and route the out a bit bigger.
I tried to fix up the steps with self leveling concrete. I textured it as it set.
