Mike Kushy and John Cooper. MK to begin with, got to site at 10.30. Wheelbarrowed a load of hardcore from the spoil pile around the back and tipped it behind the eastern wall where the winch will be going. Made a mix around lunchtime and started building up around the southern steel. JC arrived not long after and did some more wheelbarrowing of hardcore. MK chucked irregular shaped rocks behind the eastern wall to bulk it up. The pair then shifted a steel I beam to the dig to go on the northern end. We then concentrated on packing around the steel and checking levels. JC moved some mud from the top of the Templeton spoil heap down to fill the gap left from hardcore taken. MK laid grid metal sheet down to check heights. Left at 4pm. Mike.
