Things Going Ahead Apace?
Everything is finally going ahead. The East Gippsland Shire Council has supported this project with a grant and now it's finally going ahead.
There have been some holdups though none with the council, with them everything went sweetly in the main. But with Christmas and various holidays, the shed people not supplying all the documentation that we required to get a building permit, and a few things like that months have slipped past.

| John almost finished screeding |
The concrete pour went without any problems today, and as always people from the local community were involved and many hands made light work, so it went well.
The shelter for visitors to the Cassilis recreation reserve is starting to take shape.
The slab looked a treat when finished and then there was a wait while it was permitted to cure and finally the work started once again. The shelter materials had arrived and waited for assembly for weeks strapped together on a trailer.
We'll start the pictures of things happening with John's dog Crikey who loves to play and have a stick thrown that she can chase. She goes with John to the jobs he manages, a good friend of building site and home comfort.
John started the assembly of the frame of the shelter that had been ordered from JBT Constructions in Bairnsdale, who are agents in this area for Eureka sheds.
Though there was a bit of a problem with not having the specifications for the building permits which tended to hold up the building inspection of the slab preparation and the pouring of same and within that chain of events, the assembly somewhat.
It was ironed out after a few telephone calls to Eureka via JBT Constructions. Nicki being very helpful.
The Frame
John putting it all together on the slab as he went along and working mainly on his own.
Without the help of Crikey or anyone else at this stage. Then with a hand just to hold the gable assemblies when they had to be put in place.
Things were starting to get up above the level of the concrete slab.
It was starting to look like something and some of the Cassilis Recreation Reserve Committee of Management members came to give a hand when needed for work that required more than one pair of hands.
This was becoming a project that had many hands laid on and it was nice to see. The committee wants people to get involved and know they have a connection to the project.
In the afternoon the frame was up, standing on it's own and looking good.
The building was a little different to what the diagram showed. The centre gable assembly not shown in the brochure. Probably added to give greater stability and it wasn't too much of a worry for the purpose for which the shelter would be used.
But was a bit different on the plan. So it did take a moment to work out what these extra sections were and John being a top tradesman wanted it to be correct in every aspect.
Just to make certain that everything was as it should be, Kane from JBT Constructions, the company from whom the committee had purchased the shed to become shelter, came up from Bairnsdale to check things and he gave John a hand to put the cladding on the walls.
This was good follow up on the product and customer relations from JBT Constructions and it makes all the difference.
It was coming along very well and it was so described by the Treasurer, Marie-Louise and Howard a member of the committee when they came to offer any assistance that might be needed, and to make certain that John and Kane had all they required.
Then they left because it was obvious that anyone else on site would be in the road.
There will be more photographs of progress to follow.
Remember if you wish to see the photographs enlarged a little just click on them.
The shelter is all but finished, just a few final touches and the job is done. Now the work really begins.
John has almost finished the shelter, and being the top tradesman that he is, he will make certain that the work is to his satisfaction.
He is much valued around the district for his attention to detail in his excellent work. The Cassilis Recreation Reserve Committee of Management are pleased to have been able to engage him to do, and with the work he has done.
