After the dust settles...

There's certainly been a lot of dust today. The builders were here knocking holes for a steel beam in the upstairs kitchen. This is the last piece of steelwork to go in and should happen this week assuming the b***dy thing arrives. D**** was here today too and met the joiners, fire alarm people, plumber, butcher, baker and candlestick maker all of whom have a valuable contribution to make, The joiners will be here next Monday, or earlier if the job in Hawick gets finished sooner than expected. That's more fallout from Denholm school going up in smoke - they're building the temporary replacement.


The big props were removed from the function room yesterday and the doors on the top floor either jam or don't close properly now. The overall movement at the centre of the room is probably under half a centimetre, but that seems to have been enough.
