All of us were back on site, fit and raring to go after last week’s injury plagued week.  Sort of!  In the early part of the week, Wayne finished off the last of the exterior block work bringing it up to height with the rest of the block work, so we could now get the scaffolders in to take the boards up to the next lift, which I duly arranged for Thursday.  I ran in the block work on the single storey part of the build, building up the gable end as high as I could manage.  Stu was dutifully keeping our boards loaded out with cement.

On Wednesday, we moved onto building up the interior walls on the ground floor.  Wayne focused on the living areas, while I got to do the toilet/wash room.  We finished off all the block work walls by Thursday lunch, and then spent the afternoon erecting the structural steel work for the hallway, stairs and landing area.

Wayne had is usual four day week, and had Friday off.  This left Stu and me the joyous task of loading out nearly 1000 exterior concrete blocks onto the newly erected second lift of scaffolding.  It was a lovely sunny day, with clear blue skies and great views across the Fens, so it made the job a little easier.  Just after lunch, the timber posi-joists arrived, so Stu and I started to lift them into position, ready to be finished off and fixed into place on Monday.
