Friday
A fair bit of activity this morning as everyone prepares for the traditional early finish on Friday. The Asbestos men set the pace by leaving at midday and its a steady trickle from there on in.
The asbestos men have started the removal, working inside a huge sealed bubble that they have constructed. They'll be back tomorrow (Saturday) to keep working which is great and we are grateful that Neil the foreman has agreed to be there too (the builders need a presence for insurance purposes). He is going to bring his son with him so he can visit the model railway exhibition in the Warehouse organised by Richard, so every cloud has a silver lining...........
PULPITGATE - The saga goes on
Some possibly encouraging news about the pulpit. We wrote to the Listed Buildings Committee, pleading that they re-consider their decision due to the large amount of money it might cost. Out of the blue they got in touch on Wednesday saying could one of their committee visit today, Friday. This would have been possible, but viewing the pulpit today would have necessitated entering the asbestos bubble and after leaving it the LBAC committee member would have died which in some way would negate the value of the visit!
So instead, a visit is arranged for next Thursday - please pray for a fair hearing. We are encouraged, because you don't need to visit if you are only going to say 'we are sticking to our original decision' so perhaps there is a little wriggle room.
Hopefully by Monday we can get our feet clear of the Asbestos problem and move ahead.
The heating meeting took place yesterday and a reasonable consensus appears to have been reached so progress can be made. Thank you for praying.
