Conservation and Improvement Project - Week Ending 18th March 2016

This week Richard Frost the thatcher has made good progress aided by good weather. By Friday the thatch was at ridge level.

Inside the Hall the electrician replaced the old rusty electrical back boxes and fixed the armoured cable to them. The joiner worked on fixing loose wall panels and preparing the timber panelling ready for decoration. The timber for the new stage arrived on Wednesday. The first job as to mark out the floor to ensure the final flooring timbers run parallel with the stage when it is place. This was done using a laser and measuring sticks. With the floor and stage marked it was possible to fit the metal angle that will form the edge of the floor with the stage and locate the metal shoes that will hold the frame of the stage in place. By the end of the week work had started on constructing the stage. The timber has been machined, cut and jointed by Graham Haydon and is being constructed on site by Richard Slee's team.
