Mud Mud Glorious MUD!!!!!!!

The Team headed up to Carlisle on monday to build 4 x 21ftx54 insulated polytunnels. Probably looking back we should have maybe chosen a different week to attempt these, (It being the wettest September since the 70's) but we had to battle on.

 

With the caravan all set up and plumed into the mains we started digging out the footings for three of the tunnels. 8 inches of slop and 12 inches of clarty clay.

 

 

By Tuesday the weather had set in again but we only had one set of footings left to dig in. We then started on building the tunnel.

 

 

 

Thursday was the day for sheeting with the wind topping 5mph so we managed to get 2 tunnels ready for it.

 

 

By the Friday we were insulating the tunnels and cleaning the mud off all the tools. We were probably a little too optimistic thinking we could get 4 built in 5 days but having 3 done was good enough given the rubbish conditions.

 

I will update with  this when the tunnels are finished.
