Three-Quarters Floored

As far as putting down a floor in the Great Hall is concerned, we are now three-quarters of the way there. You can see the remaining quadrant that needs boarding by the gothic archway, which once led to the guest staircase. Fingers crossed, we can get the remaining boarding down on Monday.

The biggest task was clearing away all the scaffolding, insulation and wood in that corner of the Great Hall. And in fact we were able to build-up this scaffolding on the new floor under the north and west windows in the Great Hall, with a view to installing some temporary windows. After 14 or so years of being boarded up, these openings will once again let in light.
