We tore down this wall… |
 |
| …which was filled with this junk… |
 |
| ...and replaced it by this fence (sorry, it was more complete later)... |
 |
…while reusing the wall rubble to create this foundation… |
 |
…which we topped with cement… |
 |
…using this mixer. |
All in one week! It wouldn’t have even taken that long if we hadn’t had so many issues getting materials (apparently all of the stores on the island kind of just close shop whenever suits them) and if the property’s generator wouldn’t have stopped working this morning (Eek! We need that for the concrete mixer please!).
We have one more section of the foundation to lie, and then on top of this slab we will start to put up the rest of a building using the straw bale method. Jo hopes to use the new building as an art studio/schoolroom for Jessica/place for workawayers to sleep.
Pouring the concrete was dirty and slow. We’re celebrating by going to Harry Potter tonight!
