Thursday 7th May

Worklist:
Gas holder walls
Generator extension

Just two again, as Laurence is busy preparing for some plumbing work.

Geoff started to apply the light paint to the coping brickwork painted the previous week, but discovered that wiping the new paint into the joints caused the base paint to lift off - incompatible materials blamed. It was also noted that the joints were not pronounced enough to take the paint anyway. The grey paint was removed completely, the joints re-scribed and repainted.


The coping brickwork to the footpath dwarf wall was made and fitted in place.


Stephen cut away the projecting arch brickwork on the main building, allowing the extension to sit flat on the front. The extension was temporarily attached with a screw 'through the round window'. The roadway was cut away to accommodate the extension. This allowed the doors and frames to be trimmed and packed to the correct height.


The main building plinth brickwork was progressed and the window cill bricks added.
