Another week of unseasonal rain and we started the weekend drawing away excess water and mud in the holes with a vacuum cleaner. I headed for the skies to see things from a different angle.
...and then the sun came out.
Shame it hadn't dried the ground enough. We still managed to get the forklift and scissor lift bogged again.
I can't tell you how happy I am to get the frame up. Dad (Donunder) spent the entire weekend here helping out. I had originally hoped that he could spend 2 or 3 hours just helping to guide the columns into the holes. It turned into an entire weekend of manual labour that would have been better suited to a 20 year old tradie. Dad was bloody brilliant, and while young at heart, was doing things I shouldn't have expected a someone to be doing at 70+ years old. Huge effort Dad - thanks a million!
