Here we go again!



Here we go again!

More scaffolding; this tower went up on Monday, just after another successful Glasgow Doors Open Days weekend.

The Window in question showed the effects of the gales the previous weekend, pieces of the external secondary protection had fallen and others were hanging loose. However as I type this Blog I know that the damage will take a bit more work than first envisaged. Already scaffolders, stained glass experts and stone masons have been involved. The conservation architects and insurance loss adjusters may well be next.

I have to apologise to our new locum who was thrown in at the deep end when his first attendance at a Mission Panel meeting was enlivened by the workmen above his head.

Such is life in a busy working Church building.

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.

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.

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...
