Phoenix Self-Build Project

Here's "Lethal Large" making the walls inside ground floor flat no 14 as smooth as a babies bottom!!..Go Ian!!
Site manager Chris Bridges blowing out the debris from the external holes I drilled earlier. Preparing the walls for an injection of damp-coursing fluid which will remove the water build up inside the walls.

Here I am posing with my new favourite "toy"... A 110v Breaker ...The vibrations that it creates can induce permanent nerve damage if you expose yourself to the vibrations longer than 15-20 mins. Ear phones are essential as it creates a deafening din!!

Yesterday( wednesday April 29th) , under the skillful guidance and tuition of site manager Chris Bridges , I learned how to fit a toilet & sistern. Connect the pipes, assemble and fit a bathroom sink, braze together my first copper piping joints and check for leaks. Sucessfully (temporarily, until all the wall rendering is complete) fitting a working toilet and sink!...This is something they should teach 11-16 year olds to do at school!..I feel empowered. Learning these types of skills can save you money, nay, make you money, in the long run. The self-build project can equipe you with the sort of skills that can help you in all kinds of relevant ways: Give your skills and self-confidence a boost. Get down to site (if you're a phoenix member) and help give this project, and your creative potential a real boost!
