Piers and Sand Stone

Today I put in more markers, inserted the column liners and took some more sand stone (ugh) to the tip.

I measured the largest diagonal and it was about 3mm out.

I had to trim the pier liners to ensure a concrete pillar type look. The manufacturer recommends an angle grinder. I have one - yay. But each trim would wear out half a blade - not so yay. I had just enough blades to finish the cutting.



Rather than trying to salvage the other sand stone or use my gantry or crane to load them into the ute, I decided to simply chop them up. I have been reading about stone masonary so I though I would give it a go with my block cutter. I worked really well and I quickly reduced the foundation stone into smaller chunks.
