REW2 - day 1!!!
Nick and I sat looking at the beginnings of a rammed earth wall just now pondering our experience of the last few weeks. We're on the up - the trauma is fading and we're feeling good about things again.
This morning was spent waiting for test results and then we got going this afternoon only to be foiled by the compressor we hired to run the scabbler (rammer). We fiddled around, rammed the first layer by hand, phoned the plant hire co. and then Michael headed off home. The plant hire man arrived and showed us the button we should have pressed (@*!^) and Nick and I finished another layer after. So ... we're a whole 10cm off the ground!! Not to worry - we have 4 days to get to 3 metres which should be ok, and we can work Saturday morning if we need to.
Neil's joining the team again tomorrow. I'll try to take a picture or two to post although they're going to look very similar to those taken 3 weeks ago but a bit less sunny!
