Day 10, Sept 13th '10 - End of Wattling!!

The Roundhouse had been neglected for a few weeks, due to other events such as various Highland Games, but on September 13th we came back to it, energized and ready to finish the rest of the wattling. In less than a week there will be another group build and we feel the wattling should be done before then so we can move onto the next stage of the build.

We wattled what we had left of the willows we've previously gathered, which only allowed us to go around 2-3 times. Once we exhausted our supply the three of us went into the bush and gathered a truck cart load more, which we harvested with khukris.

It was then back to the process of wattling (which luckily we all enjoy so it doesn't feel tedius!) At the end of the day we'd used up the rest of the willow we gathered and pretty much reached the Top Plates. There are a few spots we need to feel in with the odd willow here and there, but over all we can say that the wattling stage of the wall has been completed!!
