After working on Sunday we decided not to take a rest day, but burst into action to make the most of two days of forecast sunshine, Rowan's availability and the extra help of Paris's brother Tuscany, staying with them for a few weeks.
After working on Sunday we decided not to take a rest day, but burst into action to make the most of two days of forecast sunshine, Rowan's availability and the extra help of Paris's brother Tuscany, staying with them for a few weeks.
By 10 am most of the lower storey was in. Tuscany had learnt the ropes very quickly and he and Rowan were chucking those bales around like they were baloons. Dave and I were quickly relegated to bale splitting - which is slightly easier on the back.
Onwards and upwards. Rowan demonstrating the persuader.
A fiddly little bit in the middle of the wall, where the internet and power from the batteries comes into the house. I came up with this offcut of plywood fixed to the upright to hold the pipe in place. After we plaster, we can screw a cover down to the ply. Next to it on the right is a section of wall too small for a piece of bale, so I thought of lathing it so loose straw could be rammed in tight from above.
Progressing nicely, but the sun full on the west, so we left the rest of this face and moved round to the north.
