Thursday 23 June How the beer is bottled and the forms finished

Up early to try to clean bottles, having to give up on several: the fungus here is very tenacious. Still I gather together 66 bottles and it's done. Apart from two Corona bottles which I smash as I try to bottle. Thin Mexican necks.
By 9 am the MB is mowing the grass round here, obviously wanting the place in a less neglected looking state for the birthday party coming up this weekend. On his best behaviour for our mother-in-law. I go sit at the site in sunshine, do a couple of jobs to finish my contribution and wait for further orders. The MB seems to be a bit annoyed by the fact that I haven't yet called the concrete company for pouring tomorrow, but one call is enough to set that in motion. I am then assigned to smear oil all over the inside of the 4 by 8 OSB boards which we hope to recover and use as sub-flooring. This task proves to be a 5- hour marathon. We're nearly ready for more concrete.
