There has been some mightily impressive setting-out, measuring, checking and re-checking of dimensions. The digger has earned its keep by taking the weight of the steels whilst joiners / steel-men Trevor and Chris position them, double check them and tighten things up.
The vertical supports have been quite tricky and the size of the excavation needed is only partly evident in the pictures. Also evident are the two long wooden spacers which slide along the parallel beams to ensure accuracy. Each of the vertical columns is set on very accurately laid concrete, some delivered by lorry yesterday and the rest mixed on site today.
Tomorrow, the big hole will be filled and graded to level, the final steel will be fitted and excess soil removed from the site by lorry.
