Hi all,
I have just replaced 7 wooden fence posts with concrete ones. The base of the removed posts sit in a strip of concrete that meets and is 5cm above my neighbours block paved front garden.
As I had to break some of the concrete to remove the posts I now want to reform it. I know this means timber form work.
I have a couple of questions...
1. What do I put on the timber to stop the concrete sticking to it when it sets?
2. How can I prevent concreting my neighbours block paving? Was thinking polythene on it, then my form work on top to meet the upright edge that I want to face off.
3. I have 2 bags of postfix left over...can I use this for minor form work? Talking no more than 5cm on any aspect.
Any anyone who's recently been digging out and breaking old posts...respect to ya! My achey arms!!
Thanks
