Rain again

Today was our first full day not blockworking for can't remember how long. We are both exhausted and need to recharge batteries. The forecast was poor so I went to Campbeltown in the truck and sorted out a timber order, bought some more blocks, though we could have done with another 32 to fill the load and managed to get 5 x 6m lengths of 110mm pipe for underground foul drainage for under the floor slab. Not what was intended as I forgot my bankers card and would have bought 100m of wavy curly pipe for more land drainage but we don't have a trade account at that dealership. Also picked up DPM and 5l of tanking paint for sunspace back wall.

All in all a relatively relaxing day and unstressful, but not as fruitful as hoped. Need to try to relax and recover from the strains of blockworking on arthritic knees and hips. We have about 200 blocks to finish but a huge amount of checking and tweaking the levelling so it'll take more than the 3 or 4 days we'd expect even with the corners.

Dreamed about laying the floors and just could not work out the logistics of getting so much concrete into place ... but then it came to me today while I was driving to Tarbert to do my Ecoday contribution on thermal imaging and insulation - we'll hire a powered barrow which takes half a cube at a time...we'll lay strips of concrete at finished floor level across each pod to tamp up to and then tip the pan mixer into the barrow power it to where we want it and off we go...
