Renovations Diary: 10th July, 2020
The Coach House
Over the weekend that the AGM was held, a crane was in very early Saturday morning to position the new steel lintel. Very quickly afterwards the carpenters got stuck in and over the next couple of days built the roof framework. It was a huge advancement by the Jayflex team supported by Carter & Co Construction.

And inside you can see that there was a lot of work. The floorboards and many of the joists on the first floor were removed. There was brickword still being completed (around windows), and the pit props removed.
