Last week in order not to stop the works, I asked the foreman to start digging out all the slabs. It was a risk, because we might have to knock down all the building and what good would it do if we had cut out the slabs? In all honesty not much…But it was a (calculated) risk worth taking! With bit of creativity and good will we have now found a solution that the engineer is comfortable with and will allow us to save the building (without too big a cost thus allowing us to actually continue work).
Tomorrow if all goes as planned a mechanical sledge hammer will be on site to relief the man of some of the hard work and then we’ll hopefully be able to restart building instead of demolishing.
(I’d like to thank once more Eng. Lebohang Phooko for his help and cooperation in helping solve yet another problem that we’ve encountered, just hope that it was actually the last one.)
