Skips "Buildings" Blog

Beavers and Cubs have tried out their new temporary accommodation and it all seems ok except the cubs hut had a leaky roof. It sounds like they need a new roof as well!

The builders moved in early Monday morning Feb 4th and skips were arriving at 7.45 when I got there for the first site meeting.

Just to recap on the work that we are having done. It all started with the roof – the concrete based roof panels were delaminating and needed to be replaced. The new roof will have a high insulation factor so it was considered that we should bring the rest of the building up to modern standards. The main works being carried out therefore are a new roof, new double glazed windows and new insulation on the walls. This together with a new heating system should make us more comfortable and more energy efficient.

First job for the builders was to cover and protect the floor and fireplace and then get on with stripping out wall and roof claddings. Attached you will find a Gant chart showing the various works being done and the programme for that work.

In this posting I have included some “before” pictures and every month after my site meeting I will bring you up to date with progress and “after” pictures.

Should anybody require further information please contact me.
