It was exhausting, relentless work from the look of it. Andrew and Paul looked wrecked! It took a few hours but so good to see something happening. I think it buoyed all our spirits.

Week 5 - Pouring the footings of the retaining walls
The final few days of work before Christmas - getting those foundations for the retaining walls poured!

Week 4 - Propping the slip and best foot forward
So Monday afternoon saw Charles, our structural engineer, and I, join Andrew on site to have a look at the slip and discuss next steps. Charles was happy that we could prop the area and that would allow work to continue safely. Andrew was keen that our solution be in timber as that's what he knows best and it can also be reused later in the project - sustainability!
So by Tuesday afternoon we had the very lovely hand drawn drawings (it makes me want all my technical drawings done by hand now!) and the delay was over.
