Work continues...

I really do get my hands dirty, too. Yes, it looks like Iain is doing all the work all the time, and, well, for the most part that's true; but I'm helping when I can. He's the one with the hunky muscles, though, and digging is just... not my thing, okay?

This is me, helping with the digging!

 Now that the forms were in, the insulation and rebar had to be put in. So GreenR sent up their guys to work on it. Unfortunately, these lads didn't know how to read the blueprints.

It was a big job, and they did try to do it right.

This is Marie, the building inspector.  She wasn't impressed with the work done.

The building inspector called Iain after she had been in to check things out.  The work had been done so poorly, she couldn't possibly pass it.  So, Iain had to go up the next day and tear everything apart (again, with the help of Carl and Roger).

GreenR sent some lads back the next day, and with Iain explaining to them what needed to be done, they worked with him to fix it up.

It would have been easier to do it right in the first place, yes?  But they didn't have the guidance from their boss that they should have.

Finally all done correctly!  Ready for concrete.
