Day 22 - Tuesday Feb 17th

Morning -

Arrive after a days holiday for half term. A hive of industry/pandemonium greets me whichever way you want to cut it.

Team boiler is out in full force as they look to complete the boiler installation this week, the electricians plod on with the cable laying, and in the car park the asbestos removal people are sorting out their shower unit. They don't do subtle when it comes to notices - 'danger of immediate death if you go near this wagon' - that sort of thing. The shower unit is parked up next to Furryfoot the Clowns (for those of you who know)taxi.Furryfoot is here to lead a 4 day training session for health professionals in the upper back hall.Obviously.

There is a significant amount of breath sucking by the asbestos people and they are coming back tomorrow threatening all sorts of extra time needed so we'll see where that goes.

Speak to Neil the site foreman and there is a significant amount of breath sucking from him as well as he worries about finishing on time.

The heating engineer and the architect are coming in tomorrow for a meeting to finally nail down the heating system design once and for all. Please pray for this as there is a great deal of pressure to reach some sort of solution, any sort of solution, and in fact we want it to be the right sort of solution as we have to work with it.

Neil approaches, wants a quick word, and in so doing ticks off another situation on the 'these situations must happen during any building project list' - he wants to have opened 'THE DOOR THAT CANNOT BE OPENED........'



.......because we do not have the key.

The very sharp eyed among you will have noticed an outside door adjacent to the entrance to the lower back hall. This is the original rear door of the church, it is locked, and we have never had a key for it. We go through the pointless but necessary ritual of checking our big box of random keys but no joy. This one will run and run.
