Another busy day at the OFFICE
Continued to Fine Coat Plaster in the ART Room and then we decided we could reconfigure the High Wall of the ART Room ..and the window above the Stairwell was considered a possible Store room for Art supplies ....so I had great fun knocking down the wall where the large window was originally going to be inserted...took down to Floor level and a couple of ledges were extended with similar construction to what was used in CASA DORA ...i.e. Tee Beams and Tiles to form Permanent Shuttering...then infilled with about 100mm of Concrete float...
We knocked down the wall causing slight chaos with bits dropped(large bits to be honest) down the stairwell towards DORAs current flat...health and safety out the window (1)
Then Snr Luis cut a hole and managed to cut the water supply for the house and Flooding DORAs House ...but fortunately he is a plumber and fixed in using a neat PVC Sleeve bonded onto the damaged pipes
Then he did the Health and Safety bit again but constructing a temporary support system relying on 4 (3inch) nails at both ends....to support him above a 20 foot drop (6 metres)
Then we made a big mix with about 8 buckets of Sand ..8 Buckets of Stones and 2 Bags(50kg each) taking about the whole floor area of the Arts and Crafts Room.... to fill the 2metre by 2metre by about 100mm
Despite Health and Safety issues ...nobody died ...not even really injured.. provided you do not count RSI on every joint in the body.....................OUCH
And so till tomorrow with only 2 full Construction days left and so much still to do BLOGGING AUF the NOO ........ Douglas CHEF
