Monday 5th May 2008

Today was a bank holiday in London, so the rest of the city relaxed while we did some tedious but important work.
The first layer of the sandstone wall is in place and the first 4 layers of the rear wall.

We had Titch and Wes on site today and the extra hands certainly made a difference.

Wednesday 7th May 2008

Today was a great progress day. Guy, Matt and Simon, with the assistance of Marc, Titch and Josh got 8 layers of stone on the wall.

Paul almost finished the feature wall of the garden. A cast of thousands worked on the carving for the bent water. The granite for the negative edge arrived. Most importantly the weather stayed good with clear blue skies yet again.

The team was also boosted with the arrival of Ron from Waterproofing Melbourne and Jamie Durie. Jamie was really excited by the progress that the team have made and the quality of the workmanship.

 

Guy is still enjoying laying the stone
