Disassembling shipping container

 This week so far we have taken down our makeshift shipping container. We all communicated to each other so we didn't put anyone in danger of the heavy metal beams falling on themselves and after we taken down both of the containers we carried in the heavy beams in twos and put the smaller ones in the back of a truck and taken them up to where we were storing the beams.

Concreting around the new Retaining wall

 A couple of weeks ago I was given the roll of supervising while the year 12s concreted a little footpath around our new retaining wall, They were going good but then they started working slow so i ended up stepping in to give them a hand. We finished way earlier than we were supposed to so we set our temporary fencing back up around the newly laid concrete so nobody could ruin our work we just finished, In the end it came out good but the weather wasn't on our side that whole week but its set and strong.

What I've done this week

 This week I completed most of my CAD (Computer Assisted Drawing) Work, also helped out the lvl2s with their retaining wall and its nearly completed. the yr13s Marked out the new site where we are building a new shed for the new school vans and so far we have run into some tree roots where we are looking to place the sheds.

       This is our P.E shed the we have built
