Monday, 22nd October - Drainage, painting and the font.

Thankfully, the lych gate didn't need to be removed after all. The concrete drainage sections were lifted into place early on Friday morning behind the gate. Work continues in readiness for linking to the mains, placing the concrete 'lid' on top and covering up.

The limecrete floor was finished on Friday completing the last section in front of the entrance door.

Work is being planned to re-plaster the lower part of the walls, then paint the whole of the walls in the nave this week. Work can then begin on placing the wooden batten supports for the under floor heating.
The font is being re-located opposite the pulpit and near the lectern. The support and the 'legs' to the font have been set in place ready for the bowl to be lifted on to them. This will take heavy lifting equipment once again, to carefully lift in place.

We are half way through the project now and things are starting to take shape. The joiners have been in to measure for the new screened in arch, which will match the bell tower screen. They are obviously working off-site at present.
