Working Weekend during the 7th April 2001.
The main task today was to erect another portal frame and get the first cover sheet fitted.
The completion of the VIP lounge floor and to get the lighting system working, was also taken in hand.
First things first - Check the power feed into the power car, seems just fine.
Power is fed into the power car by an extension from a 240volt feed + breaker.
