It certainly seems like it. I checked the Church late this afternoon and apart from one section down the west wall most of the place was dry. It hardly seems believable that in a weeks time the contractors will be on site. For now the last minute paper-work is concentrating the mind, and tomorrow, the Kirk Session are off on an away- day sampling the delights? of a not-too-distant venue. Hopefully we will all return refreshed and ready for a 20- week programme of repair works.
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.
Great news, Fiona! If the building can survive the weather of the past few days it can withstand anything.
ReplyDeleteAll strength to your arm and those of the contractors!
