The decorators are now applying paint in line with the colour scheme: Old White, Light Gray, Off White and Mouse's Back (yes, really).

Meanwhile, Ian and Ray are checking out the source of water that's pouring in from above. Hold your breath as they find out the cause!

Jean is ALWAYS all smiles!

She and others in our church are an inspiration. John Fawcett would be proud.

Work still on schedule to finish just before Christmas. Re-dedication service now booked for Sat 25th Jan.

The plaster starts to go onto the ceiling!

No more panoramic views into the roof space - but a lot of bags to haul up four levels of scaffolding - and that's after the guys have removed dozens of bags of filthy broken old plaster.

Perhaps not the right time to mention that it's getting a little bit dusty in the rooms at the back.

I nipped in before this morning's service to see how things are progressing in the chapel. I know more than most members about this project, but I was amazed. 

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!
