Hall ceiling

Most of the ceiling has been boarded - just the central beam to cover and some finishing off to do, then fitting fire alarm sensors and lights on the cabling you can see.  The boarding looks excellent, as I'm sure you'll agree...

Pictures rather than words

I've not got a great deal to say today, I'm just putting up a post because I wanted to show some more pictures of the main hall as work progresses.  I've just seen some further photos from today (but not got access to the photos myself) showing that the tongue'n'groove boarding is going on the ceiling and end walls rapidly.  I'll get some photos posted when I can.  Main areas of progress at the moment are:

• More finances coming in, including over £1000 from our recent bag packing.
• Lift is fully installed and under test.
• Main hall walls and ceiling going well - on track for completion (or very nearly) this year.
• Lighting and alarm/fire alarm cabling and fittings for the main hall also going well.
• Dry store walls (1 sheet) and ceiling (2 sheets) now fully plasterboarded - 2nd sheet on the walls will hopefully be completed this week.
• Rubbish disposal and general tidying the site to facilitate further progress.

In the meantime, here are some pictures from the last few days.
