getting @thewell workers through a small hole.

This was the main challenge of the day, in order to make the place properly damp proof, we cut an 'ole in the wall of what used to be the old water tank, and I watched, while the rest of the team, managed to negotiate (generally successfully), their way in and out of it.

There seamed to be a common method:

1. "hands"

2. "the two handed support"

3. " The one handed plank"

4. "the tumble and hope"

Smurfs

Today was a much more positive day @theWell. For a long time our team mascot has been a smurf, and until today I wasn't really sure of the reference.

This must be it...

It's not all good news

I'm not sure whether it is wise to blog about today's drama. So far this blog has been solely devoted to good news and progress, but today was what can only be described as a bad day, and my feeling is that it is best to share our entire journey, the ups and the downs alike.
The wall along the side of our property that makes up the kitchen, the computer room and the store cupboard, backs onto bare earth and we have had some problems with damp. Today we discovered the true extent of the damp and were forced to rip out a lot of the last couple of week's work, back to the brick and start over. We undid all the tiling of the walls, the painting, the plasterboard, the kitchen fittings, the floor tiles. We learnt the lesson of what took months to assemble, takes just hours to demolish. It was really tough for the whole team, but amazingly spirits seemed to remain relatively high, I'll will keep you posted as to the reintroduction of progress as it occurs. Signing off, Lily.

We 'av a folding 'folding table'

This was a bit of a squeeze, we think we have managed to achieve getting two very big machines and a folding table in a very small space. Well done gents!

But a bit of a squeeze is what we do best...
