Holdfast Training Services Trial Blog

It’s been a while, mainly because I’ve been furiously tippy tapping away on TMR 1 and Friday (blog day) is usually the day small people decide that cool kids don’t sleep.

Now, I’m conscious of the fact that groundwater problems have been a consistent theme of this blog for sometime now and you’re probably bored of it by now…oh well nevermind.  The saga continues and this week we have had some grout injection contractors in to attempt to  seal the holes.  They’ve only managed to drill and grout 1 hole today, and the water still runs, so look out for the next update.  On the plus side this comedy of errors made a decent TMR subject.

We’ve got a first floor slab poured on my block now but because of all the delays it looks like the building has had a massive bite taken out of it.  All the old hands have repeatedly said that it will start going fast once we’re out of the ground, we’re not fully out of the ground yet but it’s still moving quite fast, mostly because we have a really good foreman and gang on my block.  My new challenge is getting motivated over finishes and brickwork, it’s becoming clear that the people around me think like builders rather than engineers.
