Mix-Up

Sabrina and Keirans Place

So it has been a while since the last update due to the Wrights running around the country socialising and partying, Nicola is also going back to school, boo hoo!

The site has moved on lots and lots the footings have been dug and filled with concrete. This involved several weekends of concrete mixing and Les in the trenches spreading it out.


What, you may ask have we learned about mixing concrete? Well, if one person loads the mixer with cement, one puts in the ballast and the other person adds the water the job gets done faster. Although bags of cement are heavy and dusty and after a day on site even you boogies are concreted up your nose. Water is less physical work but be careful not to catch the bucket on the edge of the mixer, this results in the water flying back out at you making you soaked wet through to your pants and you begin to wonder if it is water ,or if you have wet yourself.

We have been introduced to the concrete crusher this weekend which is a noisy machine that eats large pieces of concrete and smashes it up into little chunks.

After many years of being told not to play with fire, we lit a bonfire and enjoyed burning everything we could find on site.
