St Cuthbert's Primary School - Sports Field Wall

The task here is to rebuild at least three collapsed sections of the boundary wall. The team today was Barry, Catriona, Graham, Richard and Tony.
 
Bottom gap

Middle gap

Top gap

 
It was decided to tackle the middle gap which had been caused by a very large sycamore tree. It was therefore necessary to strip down both sides of the wall to foundation level and rebuild a curved section to avoid the tree roots.


The first task is to separate the cemented toppers










The curve starts to take shape with a bridge across the tree roots

The work area was taped off as schoolchildren, teaching staff, and grounds maintenance staff may use the field while the work is ongoing.  Today there were no horses to worry about.
