Exterior brickwork features the very finest in 1980s leisure centre styling, and a brick-clad R/C archway over the fire escape hatch, with a ten tonne load rating and a big stainless steel winch point for bringing in heavy machinery and SAM reloads as needed.
Unfortunately there was something of a setback. I've been using the brickwork as formwork for the upper level which involves propping it against the ground. A pour was scheduled for Friday to raise the wall to roof level; weather at the time was dry.
Due to inadvertant death ray activation an electrical fault the concrete delivery truck caught fire on my driveway and the pumping operation had to be aborted. It was rescheduled for Monday using an alternate truck but over the weekend heavy rains turned the site to mud, which resulted in the props sinking into the ground and the wall exploding from the force of ~10 tonnes of concrete
Which just goes to show, always make a ground beam if you're using outrigger props on an R/C wall. Or at least arrange for the suspicious minions to be standing under the wall at the time to avoid the need to make up a separate excuse for their mysterious disappearance. The damage has since been repaired but it set back the schedule by another two weeks.
The interior partitions are up as well, concrete block of course as studwork is no good for stopping MP5 fire from invading SEAL teams or containing genetic mutants trying to claw their way out.
The roof should be completed by Christmas at which point outfitting of the interior will begin.
