Site progress
Thanks to everyone who helped out over the recent weekend. Good progress was made and the site is taking shape. The new scaffolding boat racks are complete, and already supporting the larger boats. The pavilion/shed has walls and a roof – needs a door and some felt on the roof, but that’s a detail!
So what remains to be done? Well we have to complete the movement of boats, complete the pavilion, including racking for blades, and move equipment from the Oratory’s boathouse, plus all the other stuff that I’ve forgotten.
Progress on the Hardwick site
- Hardwick site – where the scaffolding and boats will go
Those of you who have been down to row recently will have see the changes next to the Boathouse:
We have marked out the Hardwick site for the scaffolding which will eventually comprise the racking for our boats.
The equipment hut base has been laid with hardcore and levelled, the central area where the hut sits to within an astonishing 1 inch all over (Andy used a laser).
The right hand side (the entrance) and the left hand side (the toilet) may be finished off with levelling sand and paving stones later if there is enough budget in the current estimate.
- Hardwick site – entrance to new boat area
The base of the equipment hut has been made and laid and is currently in place, levelled off and ready to receive the sides and roof that will turn it into a hut.
- Hardwick site – the base where the pavilion will go
The locations for the scaffolding racks have been laid out by Roger and are clearly able to contain all the boats we had hoped for during our residence here.
