Today we had our second site meeting with the contractors, architects etc. After a slow start we are now pretty much back on track. The scaffolding is up and the boundary wall behind the building is being underpinned so that it doesn't fall down when they dig out the foundations for the new extension. Also today the slates came off the roof which revealed a problem - most of them are disintegrating so it seems we will need more new slates than first anticipated. The rafters don't look too clever either - dry rot in many of them. So in the words of our contractors it looks like we are going to need a 'new top hat'. The financial implications of this are still unknown but we are bracing ourselves.
Last week so much was going on that I did not have much time to write this blog. See the link below which shows the long-awaited day when the heavy equipment arrived.
