On 5th February, the steel finally turned up. The delay was caused by the snow activity that occurred in the UK the week before. There was one slight difference - the steel was in 6m lengths instead of 4m, which meant that I had 30m instead of the 20m I was expecting. Oh well - enough for two! Anyway, that meant that I could start work on the 8th (being the first weekend with everything I needed).
