A lot of progress this week- amazingly the Craiglash blockstone has also had two faces cut, and the good news is that it looks fairly sound inside. Once the wet stone emerges from the saw shed and is opened, the surface is dried with an air pressure gun. Any deep cracks will be revealed as they retain moisture. So far there are no really threatening lines showing up, which is quite amazing as Craiglash quarry is not known for 'clean' stone. I think everyone is feeling a bit more optimistic now. I will feel even better once I find out how close the figures are to the estimates.It's been a demanding week on a number of levels, and decide to stay away from the yard on Sunday, and rest, even though there is the opportunity to go in and work, as unusually a couple of masons will be there trying to finish off a contract.
