When you think that you have seen it all, think again and you’ll realize that there is much more there than meets the eye.If I have learnt one thing from this building so far is that you always have to dig a little deeper… Because when you do you’ll discover a wall without foundations, or a 260mm gap between the slab and the compacted fill.
Sad but true. The slab issue is already being dealt with and the foundations problem will be easily fixed by underpinning it, so no major setback or disappointment there, but it’s always a little demotivating to always find new problems that have to be dealt with.
I also found time to go and visit Lydia to discuss what she wants for her new house. I feel it’s a little too much, but if it’s what she wants and she can afford it then it’s none of my business. I’ve done my best at advising on cheaper and better solutions. They were not sufficient so now we just need to wait for the students to finish their exams and we’ll start sorting out her new dream home. I hope she’ll like what we’ll build for her in the end…
I need to start thinking about making some mock up panels of the finishes so that when the time comes at least those will go on smoothly!
(Good luck Sebatha and all the best for the future, once more thank you for letting me speak on your radio show.)
