All in a day's work

I wake at 7am to the sound of builders - not unusual around here, but this time much closer to home





- in fact at home.

GTS Constructions are on site.

YEAH!

and then...
in no time the stainless steel inners for the columns rise from the verandah slab














'til the last one is in place and it isn't even 10am!

The Newcastle Minicrane arrives

a column is strapped on

then lifted

guided gently into position                                                            then lowered

and persuaded by degrees

Two down (or rather UP), four more to go

Then the steelwork for the decking moves in

and fits like a glove

Then its all verticalised (is that a word?) and braced

and it's time to pack up and go home.

A great day's work - good job guys! Ready for the carpenters - the joists and decking!
