Last week the workers poured a ring beam around the base of the new building. They also continued to fill in the foundations and pack down the fill in preparation for pouring the floor slab this week.

| Tuesday: ring beam partially framed and poured |
Filling in the foundation involved countless wheelbarrow loads of gravel and dirt.
Once the fill had been levelled and packed down, water was poured on it to help it settle and be as firm as possible.

By Saturday afternoon, the ringbeam was finished and the foundations were almost entirely filled in.
