Digging holes and slipway repairs

This week has seen a fair amount of (organized) chaos at the marina. The builders are installing a new sewage pipe across the road outside the Harbour Offices. The old 1960s pipe had fallen in on itself - I will leave you to imagine the consequences. The first day of work saw water water everywhere due to an unfortunate encounter between digger and water pipe - only resolved by the heroics of the plumber who effected a live repair getting soaked in the process. Elsewhere on the site, the slipway is being repaired and returned to its original width, having been partially covered by earth. This should make the boat moving process more straightforward as we will be able to use the boat parker on the slipway and take boats directly onto the shore and to their allocated hard standing space.

The building work continues, with the steels for the deck being assembled on site, like a giant mechano set. Inside work continues on the second fix and the finishes downstairs while we wait on delivery of the upstairs curtain walling due on 16th June.
