We have already put in a few ‘quoin ends’ to the wall, this is the correct way of ending a dry-stone wall, and are slowly tackling the sections that need rebuilding. Slowly being the operative word here, as we’re working with quite difficult stone. Each seems to have lumps in all the wrong places and makes for quite a hard jigsaw puzzle. Once finished, we’ll move onto replacing the boundary fencing to Hope Park, and on the other side to the Isthmus.
The new path proves popular
One of the most satisfying parts of our jobs is when we see our work being appreciated. Even before the path was finished, people started using it and now months later, many a wheelchair and buggy is rolling along smoothly. The grass has now grown up and the path looks like it’s been there for years. We’ve had many positive comments while working and everyone we've spoken to, from locals to visitors, is pleased with the work we’ve carried out at Crow Park. This was my first big project after joining the team at the start of April, and I thoroughly enjoyed the challenges and rewards of such a high profile job.
