Jubilee Bank holiday and a change of weather
Week 4 - 6th - 8th June
Hurray! Work on the site began again in ernest trying to make up for the days lost which didn't help the rain coming in off the Atlantic in a series of depressions. Garry, Dave and JJ carried on through it all. I only stopped a few times really to have a look at the larger digger and the solution coming in the form of a big steel frame being placed into the ground in order to act as a temporary retaining wall. After that it sounds like the initial concrete is poured for the base, then the block work starts going up and then at some point lots more concrete will be poured on the outside of this frame at which point it gets lifted out before said concrete sets. All sounds ok in principle but these things are heavy and it certainly wasn't helped by the torrent of rain coming down and is unfortunately predicted to also fall for most of the forthcoming week! That's it time to take the Eore (?) principle of luck that will be probably be the wettest summer in living memory and only stop raining when the roof has been put on.
Don't get me wrong ground works is a very essential element to any build works but frankly it doesn't make great opportunities for images!
On a research front Flora has got a clearer idea of ranges / cookers having visited Spillers of Chard. I agree with her that an induction hob sounds good which all seems to easy surely we should arguing about something not agreeing all the time (ok most of the time she's very patient).
I've just found a company that says it's very good at dealing with multiple connections rather than going to all the different utility companies deal with just the one. With my experience over the past few months of trying to deal with SSE I would be delighted if there was another solution.
