Sorry for the absence lately, I went away for a break, and was pleased to be get back to be honest. I moan about this country but I miss it when Im away. I did something upon my return, I went back out on the tools!!! there were two reasons for this the first being I needed to know if I could still do it! and secondly you have to keep things real, its one thing talking the talk, but you have to be able to walk the walk. Its killed me, physically and mentally, most days I have come back and collapsed, then woke up to catch up with the paper work and queries on other jobs. However I have a greater respect for my lads, and they told me they thought I wouldnt last longer than half a day but I did, I stuck it out and got on with it. I wont miss site work, I will miss the banter, its been great (with a few shockers!).

Heres a couple of photos of what I've been working on, its all still work in progress. The stone is Valser Quartzite cleft finish so it meant the thickness was all over the place for the cladding. The pool surrounds are in a honed finish which is coming in at 80mm thick which we are still installing. I started doing the drawings for this over a year ago, its not been an easy part of a bigger contract but I do like a challenge, and I got it!
