Thursday, 18th October - The limecrete floor is almost finished.

The limecrete floor now stretches from the chancel step to the bell tower floor section. This only leaves the section in front of the south entrance door to pour. Several sections can be walked on, but the last ones poured, are obviously still drying.

The floor already looks different being the same level throughout and almost up to the level needed. The different levels and the trip hazards that were causing problems before, have now gone. Everyone, especially those with mobility difficulties will find it much easier to move around the nave when it is finished.

Work has been completed to drill through the solid stone, 2 foot thick south wall and to join the pipework installed along the path last week and where the tea-bar and toilet will be.

Work will soon begin at the lych gate end to join the pipework to the main drains in the main road. There may be a need to remove the gate temporarily, for the equipment to insert the concrete sections. So there may be some action on Main Street to watch!
