Cladding all Down

This morning has seen  the last of the rain-screen cladding and its fixing fails thanks to Hopley's men Chris and Trevor.  The cladding components will be re-used on the new exterior walls which will therefore match exactly with the north end cladding which remains undisturbed:

By mid morning all that remained were the six black vertical channels.  CSi had fixed them well  in 2011 and they took some unfixing!  But unfixed they were, to reveal the existing extensions block-work in its entirety

The squareness and levels of the steels are now being measured to the millimetre before massive steel angle brackets are fixed to the original tower's external wall and those of the now exposed annex.

Things are really taking shape.
