Paddington Progress…

There is not a great deal of news today, however, skip 141 was almost filled today. A little more of the timber we discovered has been exposed this week too. The timber can be seen in the photo below. We are continuing to dig out and level off in this chamber whilst also trying to uncover as much of the floor as possible. Now that we have fine-tuned our pumping system, we are managing to pump an amazing, 4,000 gallons of water a week.
