Gary from the Site

From when we arrived on site we had to fill the inside of the foundations for a sub floor up to the first block level and compact it down with the aid of Derek. The day seemed to be long as the local builders were waiting for clamps to arrive so the shuttering could be clamped to the existing funds. The chief arrived and shouted a few orders and that wasn’t the Rev Fleck. The orders were to level out mounds of clay, which was hard to shift due to the rain the day before but thanks to Ivan and Jeremy on the picks to loosen it up. After that was completed we spectated as the builders were trying to use the handsaw. It was a surprise as we expected them to know how to use a handsaw but I had to show them how to use it and they were surprised that I could use one. It’s all starting to look well.
