Conservation and Improvement Project - Week Ending 15th January 2016

This week has seen the scaffolding erected both inside the Hall and outside the Hall.

Inside the Hall Richard Slee's team are starting to work on the roof. The old rafters that supported the ceiling have been removed. The A-frames and purlins can now be clearly seen and their condition examined. The only unknown issue was to find one of the A-frames did not have a wall plate block set in the top of the cob at one side and therefore nothing was supporting it. This is easily remedied with the insertion of a new wall plate block.

Outside the scaffolding erection was completed and this now enables Richard Frost the Master Thatcher, to start work on the thatch next week.

On Wednesday Dart Electric were at the Hall and disconnected old circuits and removed obsolete cabling.

On Thursday there was a project meeting involving Richard Boxall (Project Manager), Richard Slee (Main Contractor), Steve Baber (Project Lead) and the joiner to assess the work on the roof and agree a plan of action.

On Thursday evening the Trustees met and had an update from Richard Boxall on the progress with the project.
