Thursday 7th June

The first lead valley went in this morning and a work of art it is too haha


The first of the slates were then put on. I am just so happy to see it finally happening.


As you can imagine, with Phil being a Health and Safety Manager he absolutely loves the cantilevered scaffolding with no edge protection, guard rails etc. But the new CDM and construction regulations do not apply to private householders. The duty rests with the employer not the client to ensure operations are carried out safely. When Phil sees this scaffolding, he therefore has his householder hat on and not his official one. I am just happy to be seeing progress.

The scaffolding has gone up around the second gable and so presumably work will start tomorrow on lifting the coping stones on that.

Looking good Sue - no way would you catch me up on that scaffolding though - hate heights!
