T' Floor's Here

A miserable Monday morning but brightened by the arrival of the first few floor panels - and very good they look too.

Here's the first one in place and its thickness is apparent.  Essentially it is a box filled with insulation.

Each one weighs 180kg so the digger was earning its keep as a crane today.  At this stage things are working well - the big pile of floor pieces should be in place and out of the way when the final steels arrive.   The lorry is presently stuck in traffic on the M62* but that actually works well for us.

* There will be no more traffic jams in the Brave New Boris-land.  Trust me.

And here is the first section of floor laid in less than a morning:

This, the smallest section of the total floor, extends forwards below the blue temporary tarpaulin.   The floor is now fully covered is thick black Visqueen sheeting, awaiting the walls and roof in about two weeks time.  The final section of the floor fitted into place perfectly with just 0.05mm clearance

Next priority is to finish the remaining steel-work, hopefully during this week, then the entire floor can be installed.  This will create a secure platform for the two wheel-able scaffolding towers to give access to the upper parts of the walls and the roof.
