Conservation and Improvement Project - Week Ending 29th January 2016

Monday and Richard Frost, Master Thatcher, was at the Hall starting to strip off the old thatch.
Tuesday and Richard Boyles of Dart Electrics was on site making a start with the new cabling for the Hall. Dart Electrics worked throughout the week stripping out old electrics, including removal of the old consumer unit and meters from the Hall, and installing cabling for new circuits.

Steve Baber, Project Lead, Miya Bond, Treasurer and Richard Boxall, Project Manager held a project finance review meeting on Monday to consider progress with the project and monitor finances.

Steve Baber and Richard Boxall were on site on Tuesday morning to consider any issues that have arisen with the work on the roof. One issue is the length of the thatching pegs which may damage some of the plaster board in places. This is due to the thin coating of the existing thatch. It was decided to proceed with caution and to 'test' an area of the roof as soon as is possible.

On Friday there was the weekly project monitoring meeting with Richard Boxall, Richard Slee, Richard Boyles and Steve Baber present. These meetings enable any issues to be discussed, on project decisions to be made and future work and targets to be planned. Progress is in line with the plan.

It has been possible to start installing the insulation during this week.

The new timbers that will add to the strength and stability of the roof have arrived at the Hall and work has started in preparing them for installation.
