The builders have just discovered £29K worth of extra plaster repairs to the chapel ceiling. That's almost exactly the amount set aside for roof repairs to above community rooms. So, it looks like the leaks there might continue for a while longer. In the meantime, we are exploring other funding options ... and praying for a dry autumn/winter!

Coping stones on and fencing removed:

Now, that's a BIG improvement. Three cheers for WY Metro and Geoff, Fran and Gillian from the contractor, GSM.

Now we just need to make the view pretty in the garden!

'Birdcage' scaffolding erected;
Plaster stripped off the wall;
A little bit more dry rot found;
Selected frosted glass today;
And shown the colour scheme.

All the works on schedule
... and hopefully on budget:

Three cheers for Ian, Ray and the team from Mather & Ellis!

It's not all hymn-singing for church members at Hope Baptist Church
