The plan
To build 3.2m of the wall from 17 - 21 Oct.
SIPS and Regal then arrive on Monday 24 to build the house leaving a section of roof clear above the wall (dae TBC)
We then build the remaining 2m of the wall degrading the cement as we rise to reduce colour band.(3-4 days work)
SIPS and Regal then return to finish the house, and IR continues his build program.

| Wall collapsed under own weight - tall, non stabalised walls need to be built slowly and allowed to dry as you build - oh hindsight |

| All the soil is shifted- with Help form Jeremy Lodge our architect. |
