Going Up!

Despite a couple of bad weather days, the block work continues at a pace and we hope to have the main work completed on the lower walls by Christmas.

A busy week on site, preparing to pour the floor. The plumbing team worked right through the day on Wednesday with what seemed like miles of heating pipes! But then, on Thursday, the weather changed and work came to a standstill. Fortune favoured us none the less as Friday dawned a perfect day and all fell into place to pump in the concrete. The timing meant a late night and up to continue levelling the floor at 4.30 am on Saturday morning. By mid-day it was nearly done: ready for the block layers next week. Will we make it to first floor level by Christmas?

The sealed wooden box, enclosed in a lead case, is buried in the entrance to the new building.
