A Brief Taste of Spring before more snow

 Funny old weather just now with a double-figures warm from coming up from the south to meet cold moist air from the north overnight.   Result said to be snow from 2300 hrs and through the night.  We shall find out in the morning.  Meantime today we have had little wind and glorious sunshine so it has been another cladding day here at Watery Towers.

Cladding panels which had been stored on the ground have been hoisted onto the roof for permanent fitting when the weather permits.   Things seem to b e fitting nicely when offered into place.  Millimetre accurate indeed.   Here are coping panels 36 and 37 in temporary double-check position:














The long horizontal bits will be tipped over the parapet and secured to the Terminal 2 walls leaving the shorter bits level with and secured to their parapet-top neighbours, already in place with a 15mm deliberate gap between.  

Here are other parapet and corner panels awaiting positioning and permanent fixing towards the south end of the roof:











Winter can now do its worst with little more lifting and shifting of cladding panels left to do.
