We were all back on site Monday, and good news, the Telehandler was repaired and ready for action.  Wayne was continuing to lay the exterior block work, assisted by ‘cement’ Stu as usual.  I used the Telehandler to load out the scaffold with the last of the exterior blocks for the front and rear of the build with help from Stu, as we were now about to reach plate height and ready for the roof trusses.  On Tuesday I made a start on running a few courses of interior blocks in on the first floor walls.  In the afternoon, Stu and I loaded out the interior scaffold boards with the interior blocks ready for Wayne.

I was away from site on Wednesday and Thursday carrying out a couple of little jobs for clients, leaving Stu and Wayne to continue in my absence.  They got all the exterior block work done, and we are now awaiting the arrival of the roof trusses which we ordered on the Wednesday before we can continue and finish the three gable ends.  On Thursday the scaffolders arrived to take the scaffold up to the third lift, while Wayne and Stu focused on the interior block work and putting in the remaining window lintels as they went.

Wayne had Friday as a day off, while Stu and I visited the NEC with my Dad to visit the Homebuild and Renovation Show to see what the show had to offer.
