Mike Kushy. Cementing.

Arrived about 10.30. Mixed up and took 2 heavy buckets of cement to the dig face. Used this on the right hand, fractured wall. Then got back to surface about 1.15pm and set to making another 2 buckets of mix. JC arrived just as I had lowered the buckets, he kindly cleaned up the tools whilst I went back down. Used one bucket ahead and the other bucket building steps and losing rocks in gaps. Got to surface about 3pm. Too tired to drill or run cable. 4 1/2 hours. MK.

A royal welcome to the dig this morning . Photo MK.
