The Oubliette
With concrete now in abundance, the washdown area team declared
that contrary to their earlier estimate, they now had too much material.
A little was used to complete the manhole surround. It became
apparent that the chamber was going to be very useful as an oubliette
in addition to its primary function. Mick Day was requisitioned
to test this proposition.

A weighty problem .....
With too much aggregate having been purchased, Vince was left with
a full trailer and no lifting gear. Clockwork cavers swung
into action as soon as the difficulty was recognised and set up
a rope and pulley system. Fairly soon afterwards, the bags
of aggregate were slid off the trailer and into the old oil tank
area for storage.

The Last Supper
As is usually done at Working Week, those present celebrated another
7 days of labour with the final evening meal; trout or pork as preferred.
Although there remained a lot to be finished and cleared up, this
is the turning point past which new jobs are not usually undertaken.
The Dragons were thanked for looking after everyone as well as ever
and presented with peace offerings.
