The suspended works order lasted but a week or so. With a visit to the public works office & many discussions about the best strategy for solving the Mr Loco & Mr Pom issue, it was the visit to the officials that worked. Mr Loco's land was cleared & restored & the works suspension order was lifted.
Full steam ahead, building forms, pouring concrete, taking down forms & putting up the next ones etc etc.
It's a small team at this point, usually about 5 guys (& the night watchman), but the team is expected to expand when they finish work on another job...
With things looking a little "un-noteworthy" at this point, (basically some concrete pads, & some concrete walls below ground level) we're only visiting the site with Brian once a week for updates & Q&A time. Not to mention the odd changes to plan along the way, with "bright ideas" from Steve & me...
We're expecting to visit daily when we get to ground level & there are more decisions to be made.
Also, Brian assures us this is the slowest part of the project, when there is a lot of work but it's not obvious (like tonnes of buried footings for example) & things will start to rocket along when we reach ground level...
