Accident/Minor incident on site





On Monday evening this week with the wind and the rain/sleet/snow coming down the lads had decided to call it a day and while packing up there stuff heard a loud bang, the internal corridor wall up six fresh courses and lintels came crashing down and took the previous four rows with it; along with a section of the opposite corridor wall! 300 blocks in total pictures in the slide show!!
It was an unfortunate incident but at least no one was hurt they cleaned it up yesterday and there was no major delay with it, it should be completed again by today. They are laying an average of 520 blocks a day (2 block layers one lad tending) and hopefully will be finished the house this Thursday/Friday!
I ordered 12" blocks to close the cavity at wall plate level, 6" blocks to make up levels at window cills (block on flat wall) 6" soaps for all other window cills!
