The demolition crew moves in .....
The cottages contain a number of wooden doors and window lintels, many of which have suffered from significant infestations of woodworm.  As doors and windows are replaced in the cottages, the old wooden lintels are being replaced with concrete ones.

Allan Richardson always ensures that the Working Week has a good stock of concrete lintels and with very little encouragement will remove any wooden ones that look even slightly suspicious.

Meanwhile, downstairs .....
Vince Allkins started to make a 6" hole through the main kitchen wall into the alley, so that a new extractor fan could be fitted.  This operation had to be timed to avoid periods when the Dragons were active as there was quite a degree of mess and nobody wanted brickwork in their evening meal.

The replacement fan is designed to turn itself on automatically when the humidity in the kitchen reaches a set point approximately equal to the urn going at full blast and being ignored by everyone present, or four saucepans of pasta and rice being boiled to death.

Work on the OFD survey board continues .....
Work on the new survey board progressed with great speed so that by Sunday afternoon, the electrical sockets that were in the way had been moved, new battens had been attached to the wall and the MDF backboards were up.  A coat of white emulsion paint, the first of three, was put on.
Initially, the board will show the old survey.  The plan is to replace this with a fresh reprint of the old survey and then on completion of the surveying work, with a totally new version.

SWCC member nearly lost to aliens .....
Dave Edwards was enjoying a quiet drink later that evening when an unknown lifeform gained access to Penwyllt and in a manner reminiscent of the film Alien, tried to reproduce itself using Dave as the host.
Dave manfully resisted this extra-terrestrial rogering, and not only managed to escape from its clutches, but did not spill one drop of his beer in the process.  We are also pleased to report that he did not explode all over the dining room the following day.
