With the tent set up to protect the men working in the blistering sun, And all the support and beams cemented in place the whole backyard started to resemble an Archaeological site. Perhaps the men themselves started to think of themselves as Indiana Jones.

Once the structure was made sound, It was time to lay down the basic necessities required to make sure they can work comfortably inside the structure. First and foremost they needed to set up air vent to have fresh air go in and out and reduce the risk of suffocation, Following which they laid down the electric wire to be able to see in the dark and operate any machine if required.

Men now had to concentrate on the inside of the structure now the work on the outside was complete. The rusted out stairs presented themselves as the biggest hazard. It was unsure as to when they might give up, So it was decided it was best to remove them. Though they saved these later for the nostalgia.
