Day 10 - Construction workers for a day

After preparing the underground, Bonny started laying the slabs. To keep them in position, he applied a layer of fresh cement first. This meant that we switched from the pneumatic hammer to the cement mixing machine. We took turns with two wheelbarrows between the sand and cement piles, the buckets of water, and the 'construction site' to ensure a steady supply of cement.

Afterwards, Jakob and I began filling the gaps between the slabs with mortar. At first glance, it seemed like a simple and quick task. On the second glance, it was very annoying... especially working on our knees was really exhausting in the long run.

After nearly 5 hours, a good portion of the path was perfectly finished and we could take a lunch break.

After a rather exhausting morning and a relaxing lunch break, the afternoon continued in a relaxed manner. Bonny had the afternoon off (Saturdays count here too), and Karsten and Jens returned around 4:00 p.m. Until then, there was time to get a little sunburned on the poolside lounge chair and play another round of chess. The day slowly came to an end. Since tomorrow is Sunday, we could let the evening last a bit longer and we went to bed unusually late, around half past midnight.
