Keeping the rain off

So, I’ve been doing more brick laying, I’m using naturally hydraulic lime mortar because it has been used to bind stone and brick for hundreds of years, and over its life time it will absorb almost the same amount of C02 that was used to make it. So, its way better than good old Portland cement!

The time came to get some scaffolding in and start building a sturdy frame to support the temporary roof. It needs to be a whopping 6 meters tall, and the cheapest solution was to cover it in polythene sheeting. It’s not the most eco material to use, but it keeps the rain off!

 

 

I got some help making the hoops and getting the sheet secure, it couldn’t have been done without everyone’s help, thank you all.

My pet peeve of the week is mud sticking to my boots, that makes more mud stick to my boots and that makes them ten times heavier.
