31st January 2020
The Weekday Warriors have focused their efforts on completing the fireboarding on the ground floor in the areas behind the scenes. The cellar stairwell, the corridor, the storeroom and the ‘room of doom’ (which has the alleged tunnel entrance).
They have also been helping with the preparations for the Six Nations. An extra TV is being installed today (Friday), as are more speakers. We will also have live TV in the School Room when the pub is busy and perhaps the Coach House too (fingers crossed, as it is a big request and a lot of additional work).
The professionals – Stuart and Casey – have been up on the roof today. It is dry and not too windy or cold. They have taken the opportunity in the break in the weather to cap off the shortened chimney. If you remember, this was leaning at an angle, and the Building Team decided to make sure there was no doubt about its safety by reducing its height.
And on Thursday, everyone down the pub had to look for a mystery cat. Crying had been heard, and the team believed that it was trapped. After much digging and an hour plus, the team abandoned the search. No cat. No crying. Just a complete mystery … or was it a ghost?
