This looks like a self-build operation to me. The 'scaffolding' [ or is it an ancient tower ] looks like it ought to be in a museum, and that wooden ladder is an accident on hold. It's far too neat and tidy for a pro building site. Where are the Ypres-style trenches, the piles of discarded expensive materials, timber, broken wheelbarrows, empty cement bags and half-bricks?

Har! Har! Don't you just love the 'earth' rod- looks like an old 'pram axle hammered into the ground!

Mike, in England it's what we call 'falling damp', aka rain!


Wood work but can't!
