Good progress getting joists down, it looks like Tam, Cyril and Will may finish by the 18th December, we have a problem if they don't finish as Tam is committed to dredging the Royal Harwich marina from the 4th January. In order to help get finished Tam and Cyril have employed Will, a steel erector who was trained as a joiner to help get all the joists nailed down and cross braces bolted in place. Will is young and very strong, just missing out on a trial for the England under 16 rugby squad as he fell ill before the trials. He seems able to manage 5metres of joist without undue effort, but drilling 18mm holes through the hardwood beams seems hard work even for him.
I continue to chase Walcon for a solution to the ramp that doesn't float high enough. They decide that we should move both floats to the bottom section of the ramp and will send stand off's to lower the float relative to the ramp so the float gets immersed earlier. Just hope the stand offs arrive before Tam and Cyril finish for Christmas.
