Today saw the installation of reinforcement mesh on top of yesterday's concrete. The picture shows the southern end of the annex, with the retaining wing wall springing from it in the foreground. It had been hoped to pour the next load of concrete (12 cubic meters) on top of the reinforcement bars late this afternoon but the Building Inspector could not fit in a site visit to see for himself that the reinforcement was satisfactory. A great shame that will cost us a day.
Here are builders Carl and Richard (The Stig) - foreground, checking and re-checking the positioning of the reinforcements. I am determined to get a picture of Richard, a handsome brute, sometime.
Meanwhile, inside the tower trenches are being dug for pipelines etc. The pit in the foreground will be the radon sump - something the Victorian builders did not have to worry about.
