It may have been a damp, misty and grey day at the Rocks By Rail Museum yesterday but that did not dampen the enthusiasm to get things done!
For me that involved yet more rock bashing to create more fill for the gabion baskets/cages which was made a lot easier by the fact that metal container that had stood near to the middle of the picture below had disappeared. Not sure where it went but no doubt that will be discovered another time!
It was back to piling some of the finer material quarried from the rock pile onto the platelayers trolley and then wheeling it up to site where this finer material was used to top off the gabions.
There is probably about 5 to 6 tons of stone there! That trolley has come in very handy but it must feel like a yoyo going back and forth!
With the gabions completely full it was time to backfill behind them. Luckily, there was a source of material just down the line so the trolley was wheeled down and excavation began!
Then, like a yoyo, it was back up the line to unload the trolley!
Just about there as Alex and Gary rest after a hard days work! They probably need to rest as the next job is the set of gabions to go on top of these!
Meanwhile, The darkness looking into the plant shed reveals that the roof is finally finished with the ridges now all in place.
Just a few bits on the front and that project will be done. It may not look pretty but it does the job!
