1.5 litres of coca cola per day = one relentless worker

Straw-works are progressing rapidly on site, and we have had a great deal of help from Christian’s cousin Ansgar, a new visitor to Australia – who is taking great pleasure in camping in a tent in the building site warding off the stoned brain-dead teenagers that roam through Doubleview with their lighters and spray cans…

Ansgar, who happens to be a trained nurse, has developed a tradie’s approach so rare in Oz it could only be German. He is a perfectionist and a slave driver to himself, what more can one ask for in a worker? He refuses to take days off despite working 7 full-on days a week on site during the day and having English classes in the evening…. He has also informed us in no uncertain terms that he will continue to live on site and keep the works running until the building is finished….
So as a result, we have made unbelievable progress – photos are below.
