A late autumn afternoon in Grove Park.

The boys are pouring concrete to form the basement retaining walls.

The shuttering has to be very strong - concrete weighs 2.4 tonnes per cubic metre and there are 10 cubic metres behind there.

The concrete pump is back.

The boys work into the evening to lift the next 3 panels.

The first 3 panels in position.

The slot to the left is for the glass floor panel which will flood the basement with natural light.

Precast concrete panels being craned into position.

These are permanent formwork onto which the concrete ground floor slab is poured.

The shuttering for the rear basement retaining wall.

The weight of the wet concrete is enormous, so raking props are arranged to resist the forces until the concrete sets.

The boys have worked all day in the rain - na zdrowie!

The reinforcing mesh for the basement walls.

161 contiguous piles form the perimeter of the basements.

These concrete piles are 350mm diameter, at 525mm centres.  They reinforce the ground until the basement walls are cast against them,

These piles are 17.5 metres long and will take the loads from around the staircase atrium.

Billy will be making the light fittings for the houses.
The light fittings will be manufactured (slip-cast) then crafted (turned on a wheel), meaning each will be unique.
