KH Progress Update

Wow! What a week! The powers that be; are getting all in a twist!

However the HS/HLF Grant application means that KH had a Site Visit today, Thursday. by a Case Worker appointed to write an assessment on the merit of the Building. Although there are already various reports and photos in existence, I don't think it was fully appreciated until the Scaffold was climbed. just how high up you have to go to reach the ceiling. ---A very long waaaaay!----

The Teacher Memorial Window was also removed this week and is now safely in the Studio of The Stained Glass Partnership, once they have had a good look at the panels Susan and Paul will be able to give a better idea as to when the Window will be replaced in all its glory. I did promise the lads from Denholm who were erecting the extra Scaffold that I would put their pictures on the web. Fame at last!! So hopefully they will recognise themselves on Flickr.

Also today, Friday, we took delivery of a new Bentley! An electronic Piano, not the wheeled kind, and wonderful it sounded too. Hopefully Iain Galbraith will be playing it at Sunday Worship. More later.

Staircase to Heaven

A friend mentioned The Scaffold's Greatest Hits, the musical analogy continues. Even more Scaffold has arrived. and when I visited on Thursday the men were very busy constructing a ----- Staircase to Heaven! No kidding, the front scaffolding towers are not tied in to the walls so the strengthening and buttressing supports have meant that the Contractors are able to build a Staircase and not just use ladders. Very secure it looks too, So eventually the Fabric Team will don their PPE and scale the heights. The Structural Engineer has also inspected and has declared that he is very happy with the Works Progress. Today the Concrete arrives which will be poured into the new big hole, which will form the foundation for Truss 3 N. Gosh it's all go this week.

Hidden Treasures!

Guess Where? Any answers? I'll post later. For now enjoy. Oh! and the work is still continuing on schedule.

August Garden Parties

At KH there has been a tradition of having a Garden Party (or parties!) to allow members and friends to come together at the appropriate time to carry out essential works in the garden grounds. Yesterday was one of those days, and the rain did stop and the sun did come out! Firstly, many thanks to those who turned out and contributed their time and energy, and special thanks to Ann Shill for the yummy sandwiches. Our youngest labourer took great delight in sowing the seeds of the Wildflower Meadow, showing great interest in the different sizes and colours of seed, while Mum raked and prepared the ground! Office-bound workers enjoyed their blisters (I hope) proof of their hard work - and a chance for my new First Aid Kit to be used. And what was very pleasant was being able to actually do a little proper gardening apart from just the hard work of cutting grass and hedges! New gardeners were surprised at just how extensive the grounds actually are. Alas; because of Parked c...
