Well, a slightly difficult day for a number of reasons, but it looks like we make some progress in the end.
The weather did not help - Only one of the electricians made it and he has been working away all day on the top of the scaffolding. All Stan Randells men made it which is commendable. They work in teams so Neil has brought his own two colleagues.
I have'nt sorted out their names yet but trust that they conform to that great builder tradition of being single syllable.Tom.Neil.Joe.Baz. it would'nt do to welcome Cornelius and Sebastian (as suggested by our Treasurer).
However, the day is disrupted by a guy who has come in to price up removing the asbestos. He voices some completely unfounded concerns to me and Neil and this in turn causes a problem with what work can be done ongoing until the asbestos is removed. Its not appropriate to record all the goings on here but suffice it to say that we were well supported by JBKS (our architects and project manager) and meaningful work will start again tomorrow.
We have accepted a (large) quote for the removal of the asbestos from another contractor and this process will take 3 days during which no work can take place. Its likely to be towards the end of the month when this happens.
The day ends - a little disappointing, but this little blip with the asbestos probably had to happen and I think were over that hump now.
The prayer for this week is that the floorboards come up. That really has to happen, even tomorrow, if we are to keep any sort of momentum going.
