Day34 Thursday 4th March

Hello to you all - my apologies for lack of blog related activity this week, but here is a quick update now.

Firstly, Pulpitgate!

Long story short, it stays. No changes, no lightening up, no nothing - it stays as is.
The bad news is that in round numbers it will be a £6,000 fix.

The good news is (photographically at least) is that in order to achieve the fix it will have to be winched completely clear of its position up in to the air. A camera will be there!

Secondly, Heatingate. It's like drawing teeth but slowly the heating system is taking shape, and the builders are starting to fill in the spaces between the joists with insulation so that the heat does not flow away in to the floor void. The floor is starting to look a little bit more like a floor which is encouraging.

The lighting people plod on, but we would value your prayers for this aspect of the work as there is real conflict over particular parts of it. Pray also for the speedy availability of the lights we need.

We had a site meeting today (Brummy accents to the fore here, a translator was in the room for the benefit of the rest of us) with all the parties involved in the work and, regretably, the builders have applied for a 5 week delay on the works due to a combination of factors. This 5 week delay is not set in stone yet, it is subject to an arbitration process and an assessment of its reasonableness but nonetheless there it is.

More to follow....
