Hi all, I'm relatively new and haven't posted much on this forum yet.
Here are some pictures of my garden couch, which started as a 14" thick slab and is now being built up.
I normally have to work weekends in September, this year I wormed my way out of it, a good thing, since
the reinforced back has been a drawn-out business, just a few inches a day possible.
Today I finished the first coat on the front (the picture is a few days old).
The next picture will show the rebar support in the back, hope it will reassure you, Tango. I know it looked
very skimpy on another picture you saw, partially because the outline rebar was spraypainted (so I could see it, stepping back),
The whole back was quite rigid before I started building.
I've only used portland/sand or portland/stonedust so far. Now I think it might be time for some bonding agent.
Any particular advice on that would be helpful.
