Here's some advice for any wannabe builders - if you're ever asked to help with noggins and joists, run a mile ........or at least be prepared to get your fingers trapped and your shoulders & back aching for days on end as you work at a stretch screwing and nailing fiddly bits of wood!!

With the steel beams up and painted with fireproofing (Brosteel Ultra 60), next job on the agenda was to add all the floor/ceiling joists. Lots of sawing and cutting to shape so that they fit "into" and between the beams, and then held rigid by noggins.
Not sure where 'Fredo was when you needed him, probably catching up on some sleep between killing all his mates on CoD.
Firstly though, a bit of early morning brickwork:

| Yes, it is England :O) |
Followed by the joists:
 |
| That straight? |
 |
| Fred wakes up to make lunch |
 |
| You sure this is safe? |
And of course, there was a bit of free time to enjoy a sunny day out on the Test:

| Grayling |
Then back to work:
 |
| Eh! No pictures till we're finished |
