Good solid day of progress today.

One of the other guys drilled out and bolted down the bases of the two stanchions while I cut and welded in a diagonal brace to the large door, to stop it sagging.

Once the stanchions were bolted down we fired into the front-to-back sleeper wall:



Which is now done, so the container needs dragging away from the wall so the stud-wall can be put up.

Next bits are the bottoms to the doors, which have been cut for a while and then the panelling in of the door.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Diagonal brace put in at the weekend.  Lower sections welded in this evening.  It's ready to be covered in.



Block-work appears to have dried nicely.  Blind men may come to admire it and be impressed.

Yes, but that's fine - the doors can be wide open, but then they can be shut up when we leave, leaving everything secure and dry and much less dusty.
