Day 16 arrived and I could hear a distant clinking and clanking of metal on metal. It had to be the scaffolding. Over the next 3 days the scaffolding men surrounded the barn with poles and planks, and inserted ladder-like steel poles from the front to the centre of the building, to enable the Barn Boys to raise the barn off its foundations (to be replaced) and to balance the entire structure on the steel rods! Hmm.

| Check out the horizontal steel ladders; they'll be supporting the barn in a few days |
With the scaffolding up, the Barn Boys can now start removing the brickwork at the front and corners of the North elevation. They'll dig down approximately a metre to prepare the new foundations - concrete blocks beneath ground level and bricks above.
Until tomorrow and the Barn balancing act.....

Great to see the scaffold go up, I love the decking too - it reminds me of a well decked property in another land I know!
ReplyDeleteI like the resident security - he might lick the intruders to death.
