Well it started today, apparently. I have been asked, kindly by Angus, the contractor to not bother turning up until the plants are due. Its quite a wrench to trust someone to build something that has developed a personality over the last 6 months; to give them the control over its delivery. But I do trust them, all. The plant suppliers at Aldingbourne, the concrete formers at the University of East London. They trust me to have designed something with integrity and communicated to them the necessary dimensions and drawings for parts to be built, now I hope that they all fit. Its a frustration to hear of progress from the other end of a phone, but even if I was there, and last year I was, there is actually little that I could do. Point a bit, shout, wave my hands and try to doodle my way out of a problem. Its best this way and there is so much new work coming in that I need to remember who the clients are and keep my promises.
A test cast from last week
