Holdfast Training Services Trial Blog

TMR 1, some leave, Lizzie not well, the CI’s visit and healthy dose of laziness have all conspired to prevent me from completing a blog for sometime.  

Update Artesian Water – The 2 dodgy men that turned up with big drills and a few bags of cement did manage to stem the flow of the water.  It took a while and wet feet (not mine) but eventually a chemical grout managed to stop the water.  I have to admit I was skeptical right up to the point where the water stopped, it seemed like a very amateurish outfit but it made me laugh to see a Celtic supporting Glaswegian and Rangers supporting N Irishman step out of the same van.  The death of water problems combined with a couple of other long awaited solutions have finally opened up the last part of Block B for construction and by the middle of next week I expect to have a water tight plant room.

The project continues to be plagued with design issues a constant stream of RFIs come in from the concrete contractor, I’m trying my best to get ahead and stay there of the construction process but with more trades on site now I can’t dedicate all my time to structural stuff.  The M&E types are slowly dribbling on to site and dangling a few things from the soffit in my plant room.

I have been conducting all the inductions on site at the moment and because of that handle  a lot of CSCS cards and one didn’t look quite right this morning, apparently the line in fake cards didn’t extend to a fake phone number on the back and eventually it was confirmed that it was a fake card.  Free breakfast care of the contracts manager for Rich!
