13-18 April 2018
The next ceiling panel is over the deep part of the stairs. This one has worried me for ages, so I bought some scaffolding planks in the last woodyard order, to be ready. Dave cut some lengths to straddle the stairwell, luckily our cantilevered mezzanine balcony means there is a strong central bannister to the stairs. Then we put the ladder out into space, and did the next two panels.
Five days seems a long time, but between Friday and Wednesday we take Saturday afternoon and all Sunday off, and on Tuesdays we have music school in the afternoon, and we tend to do domestic chores in the morning, so in effect, it is only two and a half days project work, and this section was all about moving slowly and carefully, and always watching to see where we were putting our feet.
