Have we got enough Scaffolding? part 2



Some members of the congregation came to me on Sunday, very concerned because they had seen the scaffold tower being dismantled, this tower has been outside the Vestry Door for some months now. Fortunately I was able to reassure them that it had moved inside and that another tower would replace it later.

Yet another dellivery of Scaffold was due today (Tuesday) ------ and it duly arrived! Lots of it. The towers inside are stretching even further and the front entrance has some very neat piles of poles ready to go. The Grand Piano has a new position every time I look in.

Who would have believed that a wind could have done so much; to cause so much. On Monday there was an ethereal mist throughout due to the sawdust and cutting the concrete down below. Once again a new foundation has to be made for one of the new mega shores to be erected. (Truss 3)


The Congregation will be able to see the plans on Sunday, new Information Posters have arrived. and we'll be able to show the plans to visitors on Saturdays when we are open as usaul between 3 and 5pm.

    I could let you have a CD of The Scaffold's Great Hits if that would help, Fiona!

    Thanks for keeping us all posted. I'll miss the plans on Sunday but look forward to seeing them soon.

    And what about the "Stornoway Twister"? They can at least say it was a judgement for the Sunday ferry, but what did we do wrong?

    Don't answer that!

The snow held off this morning and the Contractors were hopeful of taking down 4 'flights' of scaffold before Christmas. however it was deemed too dangerous for that this morning. 'What about the weather vane?' I asked. 'Well we;ll see how it is the afternoon and we've got a back-up with the Steeplejacks if necessary' said Hunter & Clark. Off I went on errands and on my return driving along Queen Margaret Drive I noticed that the scaffold around Oran Mor had been taken down and then I noticed a 'High -vis' figure on top of our Fleche which clothed in its scaffold looks a bit like a pineapple over the roof tops of Grosvenor Terrace. Once it was safe to do so, I of course took photos of Archie and Craig tackling the re-installation of our very own 'Chanticleer' All this was of course whilst the snow was coming down again. Hard! However the Task was successfully accomplished. Thank You both, very much. It is much appreciated by all of us at ...

Re-Dedication Service

The clean-up team have been in this week! Many thanks to them---they know who they are! The Sanctuary is looking much cleaner and shinier now. Final clean-up on Friday! We are all looking forward to the Service on Saturday which Alastair Cherry will conduct, lots of people have said they are able to come and the weather forecast is favourable. One little word, the Church is still technically a Building Site, So please pay heed to the advice of the Stewards and remain on the permitted side of any roped-off areas. Hard Hats will not be neccessary.

Return from the brink?!

Don't do it! It does seem a little strange, but I think this is the second photo of this very hardworking person "up close and personal" with a window. Although the last time we managed to have the window brought down from on high for her close inspection. Whatever, the gist of all this is; that this particular property owned by the Congregation is now ready for a new tenant. As explained during the 'At-Home Sessions' this will be an extra source of income for the Congregation. A lot of work by a lot of people has gone into achieving this, and cleaning the windows on a glorious Autumn afternoon has been just part of it.
