“Would you Adam and Eve it?”* we have a sand pad!!! And not just any, common place, run of the mill pad but a mighty pad that really emphasizes the difference in the level of “grade” between the back of library and AFH (for us amateurs the ground slopes down from the back door towards AFH). The pad is the results of many lorry* loads of builder’s sand (yes there’s even a difference between sand types) and innumerable passes by the big yellow roller and is ready and waiting for the next phase, laying the rear wing’s concrete pad.
As Higgerson’s work on building the pad neared completion their attention has started to shift to clearing the area beside N.Witchduck Road so Precision Pipe can return and construct two of the three stormwater holding tanks and connect the system to the storm water drainage system. Readers will recall my last blog reporting the issue of establishing the finished floor level for the new wing. Well that is now resolved but “behind the scenes” Scott Crumley et al continue to review and check the planning details for the next construction activities. Be safe and stay healthy, yours aye David Beach * “Would you Adam and Eve it?” – Cockney rhyming slang for “would you believe it?” Cockney is a person born in East London within earshot of the sound of St Mary Le Bow Church bells. * Lorry – truck.

David, this series of blog posts is fascinating. I need to get by and observe our new sand pile. What is ODEC doing to keep the stray cats out? :)
