To catch up, a few keen beans went to the site today to push the feet along.
Joe was in charge today, so I caught up with him in the afternoon to find out how the day had gone...
The group managed to get 2 shoes finished - so these elements are now fixed to the concrete - they would have kept going but the drills ran out of battery - AGAIN!

4 of the frames have been properly fixed together, we didn’t want to do this poorly on Friday as we were worried that under tension the frames could snap, we do not want to have to buy more! They are done now and are ready to lift up into place when the feet have been completed.
We managed to get some filming done whilst the second shoe was being drilled - everyone was really optimistic but then the drills died, so - not as much got done as was hoped.
One positive was the weather, clear skies have allowed the site to dry out a little - it was turning into a slippy mud bath, health and safety nightmare - saws and drills flying everywhere...
So a big thanks go to our dedicated Saturday team; Pat, Aoife, Joe, John, Jess and Kawther. Hopefully we wont have to see the site next Saturday as we are still aiming for a Friday finnish, fingers, toes and everything crossed.
