OK, I admit it, I meant CORBELS. Had to replace them today.
Storm clouds are gathering, but the forecast for the day is good - phew!
Two scaffolding towers were erected by BUDGET SCAFFOLD,
each with a ladder. Here's one of them.
And here's the problem, CONCRETE CANCER, or, as I like to call it:
s**t the roof's about to slide off!
After setting up a simple roof support system, much brick cutting,
demolition, and muck mixing,
we were ready to pop in the new CORBAL
and bricks. The props stay in for a few days, at which point the final pointing along the roof line will be done. Another few days after that and we can strip out the support and pray the new block work will hold up the roof.
Front and rear corbels done in a day - happy DEREK.
He'll be paid on Saturday with a meal. He's a great mate. I'd better crack out the recipe books, he's earned a blow out feast.
