Striking the Scaffold


With repointing completed on the two elevations included in the first phase of works the main contractor begins to strike the scaffold, the restored stone walls finally coming into view.


Openings have already been prepared at first floor level for a balcony and external stair that will in the future connect the first floor directly to the main garden.


The upper level of the end elevation clearly shows the results of the repairs and repointing to the stonework while the remodeling and repointing of the old ground floor extension - housing the boiler room and related services - will have to wait for another day … and availability of further project funding!


Meanwhile, new shutters securely close the ground floor apartments to undesired visitors, their pale golden wood blending beautifully with the finished stonework.
