3rd Week May

So Mike and Simon are up to their armpits in hand cutting of joints.

One of the great aspects is the skills transfer:  a couple of our assistants are on the chisels under the watchfull eye of our cabinetmaker duo, learning the basic skills of woodwork joints - not a powertool in sight !!


Couple of shots of the material on the floor:


Post to Principal Rafter Mortice and Tennon

 Balance of the Spruce in the factory, ready for processing 


Booking of transport for the trip up from Grabouw to Keurbooms Strand and then the fun stuff starts.

All looking good at this stage.  I'm wrapping up the programme to publish for Nick and Helen and busy with the sub-contractor tender and selection.

The house has an amazing vista over the beach, so a little bit of R & R and swim training in the pipeline !  Wonder if the Speedo still fits ?
