The BIG EARS Project... more

I spent most of today in Elderslie at the club. The doors for the shacks were planed to size and fitted and work is ongoing to finish off the few remaining pieces of skirtings and facings before the doors are varnished and the skirtings painted gloss white. I was up in the attic space today. It's incredibly dirty as you might expect from a building constructed in the 1800's! What concerned me was the number of places where I could see through the ceiling into the hall below. It seems that the hall probably had a lath and plaster ceiling which at some time has been torn down and replaced with square sound deadening tiles, but there are plenty of gaps for heat to leak through, which probably explains why the hall chills down so quickly!  IMHO it could greatly benefit from some thermal insulation being fitted, but given that the area is large, this would be an expensive thing to do.
 
Here are today's photos, in no particular order!
 

   Oh, and just in case you are wondering, that's Paul MM6PMC with the onion rings in his eyes.

Tomorrow is another day.
