Friday again!
Progress has been made on constructing the stairs and the downstairs toilet. There has been further communication about the repair of the shared wall. It would seem that its condition was worse than the consultant sent by the neighbouring side, expected. I fear this will take some time. The difficulty is that a temporary fix is probably not possible and that work should begin with the scaffold. Our roof will not support the scaffold so some other arrangement will have to be sorted. It is really a big problem! On the homefront, I put some of our "stuff" on eBay to sell, or more accurately, to get rid of.
The framework for the stairs and toilet.
The framework for the entry stairs
This is the view looking straight up the stairwell. The fireman's pole was supporting the now overhanging corner (concrete slab).
When I was getting on the ferry this morning I realised how clearly the wall of the AMP building can be seen from Stockon side. From a distance the wall looks quite benign.
Closer up, it can be seen how far above our building the wall rises. Our place cannot even be seen. The rusted lightwell runs below the semi-circular "window" in the centre of the cream wall. Scaffolding will have to be sizeable. (I could be very smug and say, "Not my problem". But I won't say that out loud - yet.)
