At the start of day 2 we literally picked up where we left off. The pace of production seen the previous day continued, with the team working on the wall panels and timber frame structure simultaneously.After a minor setback with beam 2 ( I say minor, but it took the whole day to rectify), due to all components varying in width. Team ‘beam-bodge’ managed to put together beam 2 which promised to be the most challenging by far.At the same time the panel team completed their 1st panel early in the morning. It was a great achievement at the time until it began to sink in that the panel they had created was the smallest of the set!!! By the end of the day they had produced a credible number of panels. Whilst on the subject of scale, the timber frame group managed to construct all columns including the 3.5m ‘Mother’ column which reached dizzy heights.
Tom stands prowd with the first panel. But there’s little time to admire as it’s striaght onto the next one.
Kevin & Peter set out the middle members of column 5 with a good example of clamping before standing back to admire
Twin towers: Sarah & Dave anchor up the 1st frame 5 column to be completed. Kevin later realises just how tall she is.
Team ‘Beam bodge’ finally bodge together the problematic beam 2…
…and begin assembling frame 2
The day draws to an end with fun and games. Site stereotypes begin to creep into the camp while Peter & Kevin enjoy a ’saw-off’.
