^ Cheers Props.

This morning the team were hard at work filling in all the crooks and nanies. It doesn't need to look that good but it stops the water from draining away on everyones heads. Large cracks were stuffed with wet cement bags,



Smaller cracks were given a spot of loving care with a trowel and some 'pug'.



Bang on one o'clock, the cement truck arrives and with it about six more people. These were quickly organised into passers, pourers, bucket retrievers and the one at the bottom by the truck.



Here we see one of the girls doing all the work, whilst the two guys on the right make sure she doesn't fall in. At this point, we are running two chains of buckets.



Here is the 'head' of one chain. When the bucket is empty, it goes over the side and is retrieved. The mess was incredible with small stuff going everywhere, including all over me.



Seeking a, relatively, safer place, I noticed another truck pulling onto the site. It was the guys with the steel for the roof and some primer and stuff.



Khun Mau checks the paperwork having counted the bars. It is important to have someone that you trust to do this for you.



As the cement was in two loads, there was a certain amount of down time that the team don't normally get. Here they are enjoying a watermellon and some very cold water. Note the delicate Isaan stlye cutting knife.



A very rare shot of the Boss, sitting in the shade before the day is done.



Before I close, I just had to share this. From the lid of the tin of primer. Why they don't say it like this in Blighty, is beyond me.



There is a rest day tomorrow, before the struts are removed. Water splashing will continue, however, for the required period. Maybe I will go and photograph some natives.
