Dentistry

The Skater, on a break from serious revising, came to inspect the works. Even boring architect stuff is interesting when the only alternative is memorising algebraic formula and key dates from World War II.

He wanted to know what the smell was that reminded him of the dentists. We narrowed it down to the resin used to anchor the bolts into the hollow brickwork of the façade. Apparently it must be the same product that gets used for anchoring braces to The Skaters teeth. Puts a whole new perspective on what I'm up to. Drilling, pumping the resin in and bolting on steel brackets. Just like the dentist. Only things missing are the Vivaldi sound track, back issues of Tatler and the assistant in a white coat.
If I was being paid at the same rate per m2 as The Skaters dentist I could quite happily retire on the weekends proceeds.


The street façade is set out and bracketed. Next weekend the garden façade.
