If the cap fits wear it.

Whatever they've battered there they've left the head on. Mole? Rat?

Monstrosity.

It was such a shame B of the Bang became unstable and had to be taken down. I thought it looked great. As sculptures go, it was different and unique.

Watched SS's video from yesterday, zooms in to the mock-up up at the very end. Bloody hell the efflorescence on that brick, not a good sign if that's the state of it only a couple months in.

Efflorescence in brick ( salts coming out of the clay) is not a massive problem as it can easily be brushed off ( not washed as it dissolves and soaks into the brick to reappear again) and once cleared very rarely appears again . It is however bleeding unsightly ,the bricks choosen can easily be changed at this point before laying commences and a harder wire cut/ stock brick is preferable but will not have the same look !

Have you found it to rarely appear again once washed off? I've seen it reappear often, but how well it was 'brushed' off, who knows.

Wow, good timing being there but even though I knew it was now in place I felt tense until the end. Them lot'll be queuing up for the loo when they come down.

It looked like there's only room for an eighth of a turn tightening up the bolts as well, they'll be there for a week to do the rest if they can't get air driven tools in. At least there's only one other cap to do.

They can stay up there until all bolts are fitted. Send them up a couple of buckets.
