The weather was looking good for the week, so I thought we could crack on with things and make up for lost time due to the bad weather over recent weeks.  That’s what I thought.  That’s until two out of the three us couldn’t work due to injury!  We were all in on Monday continuing with the exterior block work, and Wayne was already letting us know that his wrist was feeling the worst for wear, especially as he was working with the heavy blocks, bless him! 

7am Tuesday morning I get two texts, one from Stu saying he had badly sprained his ankle and was going to spend the next couple of days with it raised and covered with ice, and Wayne’s wrist was too painful for him to work, so he was going to rest it for a few days.  Great start to the day!  I had to be on site to meet the timber truss people later that morning so they could measure up and we could get the trusses ordered for next week. 

I took the opportunity on Wednesday and Thursday to hang some internal doors for a client, while Stu and Wayne got into their daily dose of daytime TV viewing!  On Friday, Stu was back on site, although with a limp, so he and I set about getting some courses of the exterior blocks laid so we could be in a position to have the next lift of scaffold carried out next week.  We also had some structural steel delivered, so we will need to get that erected prior to the trusses going in.  Hopefully next week all three of us will be back on site, I just hope the weather stays kind to us.
