Painting the tyres was fun as well as rewarding!The playground at the QEII is now (once the paint has dried properly) fully operational! We might still lay the floor tiles next week but now they can start using it.
The children really enjoyed it and although we wanted some of tyres left black the enthusiasm was such that they all got painted!
But I must say that that was not the only thing that I saw that both pleased me and looked nice. When I visited the site late this afternoon, Tau had started with the top of the wall detail. It looks great! The wall looks separate from the roof and we managed to avoid a messy finish using only plaster!
I also had a quick look at the metal straps (earlier I had a returned phone call from one of the UK expat architects, that told me that this was one of the standard details, and that as long as the straps were properly embedded in concrete and properly nailed down I shouldn’t worry too much about it) so I had a look and they had actually been round tightening it!
The roof and wall junction is looking okay, the interior plastering on B is well on its way, so as soon as the poles arrive and are installed we can move forwards onto A!
