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.
