Monday: Picked up Neil, met Michael on site 8ish so a bright early start. Stelios arrived late morning to complete the team and it was a good day's ramming with a break for the second level of shuttering to go up.
From left to right: Neil, Nick, Stelios and Michael. Hammering down one of the ribs. Michael brought all the kit for the shuttering pre-assembled - it's brilliantly built, all to within a millimeter and cleverly designed. There's a middle section that we should be able to remove to allow the floors to be finished right up to the wall - but leaving the rest of the wall covered whilst the house is fitted out preventing damage.
We built around a metre of height today, at which rate we think we'll finish in 5 or 6 days if no weather delays. Michael usually rams by hand and has worked out that the pneumatic ramming rod has made the ramming part of the process about 5 times faster.
