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 KH.

Yes, we all echo the sentiments about the willingness and courage of our intrepid contractors. It is good to have the weathercock back in place - it somehow says that we are here to stay!
ReplyDeleteCan we, do you think, get a halo like Oran Mor's?!
