Rome wasn't built in a day.

What's all this with the modern scaffold? I thought only authentic Roman stuff was to be used!
They can use modern equivalents (like plastic buckets). The Romans (probably) had scaffolding, although it would have been wooden.Not sure about the hi-vis vests though, its not like they are going to be killed by a Roman delivery truck.
Well, I certainly enjoyed it.
The builders tend to have a good sense wit on them in the main, not a great surprise that they are struggling with the physical aspects of it - they didn't look like gym bunnies....
I loved the way they had no idea just how skillful the Romans were even two thousand years ago.....

The Professor chap needs a slap. He obviously knows nothing of the building game yet thinks 'his way' is best.
There is no evidence of Roman barrows!Mind you, the Romans had no neck collar for horses, yet the donkey pulling the cart had one...
Dear All,
I've been meaning to [mgmtspeak]throw my two pennorth into the wishing well[/mgmtspeak]...
...it looked to me that they were using "modern" yellow building sand for the lime mortar.
Shirley shome mishtake?
Shouldn't it be graded sharp sand otherwise won't the mortar crack under load and frost?

Jet
