14.05.2021 Heavy overnight rain.

Friday 14th 50-55F, grey overcast but remaining dry so far. There was very heavy rain last night with thunder. 

I have adjusted the level of the dome on its wooden blocks. It had been sitting there so long that it was beginning to sink in some places. Only about 10mm but it was obvious on the laser level. Probably the result of the long, cool and wet spring. I removed most of the accumulated detritus and wood off-cuts in the dome as well. 

After lunch I was press ganged into gutter clearing and then moss removal from a shed roof. Last night's heavy rain had cut through the self-compacting gravel. I badly need to dress it with pea gravel to protect the surface. However, the foundation pad needs expansion. To better match the increased footprint of the building. 

The plan was to fence in a circle and backfill behind it with the self-compacting gravel. I'd use fleece behind small mesh netting with lots of timber posts. My wife suggested a woven willow fence but it would be much more time consuming to make.
