Day 9, Thursday, 13th — A rest day.



Day 10, Friday, 14th — More work above the bay windows and round the back but not much visible change so no photos. In fact, since there was no obvious change for a while, I sort of lost interest in taking photos.



Monday, 17th — Scaffolding on my half of the block was taken down, much to my relief. Next door still to be re-roughcast.



Monday, 24th — A few more photos before the roughcasting starts next door.

Sunday, 14th May — Rone pipe at front apparently blocked, one man arrived and dug it up in pouring rain.

Monday, 15th May — Last of scaffolding removed. Rone pipe at front disintegrated in pouring rain. Someone arrived and fixed it.
