Urghhh! The dreaded beam! Will it sag? Will it stand? Will someone help us! Well it was time to sink or swim. Based on the span of the beam we managed to gather some recycled plywood and start constructing the mould for our beam. This time the team was more than willing to spend some time to reinforce the side formwork and the soffit of the formwork as you can see in the picture.

Some might laugh at the ridiculous amount of timber bracing and support but bear in mind that the plywood was thin and was recycled! It doesn’t have the durability of new plywood but when the going gets tough the tough would do anything to get GOING!
