Today, they say, it is going to rain and the Company want a decision about the last, not square side. They say that they can get the tractor over later today, if only I would make up my mind. I had not realised this, of couse, because no one had actually mentioned it.

"Off with the last post", I cried, in the style of some mad king.



With a real sense of urgency, or pre-rain excitement, the lads were throwning themselves at it.



They got the beam poured in double quick time,



...just before the rain started.



This was a good excuse for a little down time,



..and the odd nap.



It rained for about an hour, then there was a little of the 'wiring the block links to the binders' that we dicussed earlier.



The tractor then appeared and Sing marked out a new line with rope and a few, well placed, plastic bags.



I've been struggling to remember the guys name, not that it makes any difference, but he did a good job and the loss of a part of the front garden didn't seem quite so bad. Gate will have to open on the other side though.



Meanwhile, out the front, the boys enjoy a spot of gossip over the garden wall as the water pipe level gets another look-in.



Extra metal is cut for the pillars and stuff,



...before the hevens open again and we have to shelter in the porch for an adhoc master class in base plate construction.
