A Very Busy, Productive Week and Such
Changes
Yesterday, Day One was obviously the
most dramatic in terms of deconstruction but Tuesday saw the shuttering prep work each side of the front pilings. The
boys are a hard-working, happy bunch and we love to hear them chatter. Extremely
respectful (not for our benefit) when they talk about the boss always using Mr.
Drysdale. By the end of the day all the wooden, support beams were in
place.
Wednesday saw Barry White (Baldwin) with the ‘Big Boy’ tool trimming down
the piling.
Cutie
(Benji) carried in sheets of ply as if they were ice cream wafers as Captain
(Lashley) nailed them in place. It is wonderful to
watch as they seamlessly take charge of their respective jobs, nary a word
needed to be spoken, no one bothered who was ‘in charge’ of a particular job so
long as it was completed....
I simply love this
picture.
Captain happily nailing
away.
By days end we had a
dance floor.
Thursday saw Captain ‘trimming’ the ‘i’ bar and making
sparks.
Said ‘I’ bar hefted in
by the team and .......
............we could clearly see the extension to the front right.
Friday - the rods
went in for the cement strengthening. At 12:45 the
concrete man came to measure up, six cubic yards are coming on Tuesday after
Bank Holiday Monday (no one allowed on the beach). We sent the boys off with six
beers each to enjoy and bade them a good, long rest. Captain went off beaming
with the bed head and chopped off foot as his weekend
project.
ALL IN ALL A REAL JOY TO WATCH AND BE WITH SUCH A SMASHING
TEAM
INCREDIBLY
EFFICIENT AND GOOD QUALITY
