Anne and Louise enjoying a site visit to see progress. All still on programme

A view from the flat roof of the existing building ...

Roof trusses being installed on the new counselling building.

The new build is now 3 days ahead ...

Roof trusses delivered 3 days early and some already installed but you cannot see them. The ones you can see are stored waiting to be installed.

Asbestos removed from the first floor and ready for Bristol Together ..

For those of you who are interested this is the underside of the first floor flat ceiling/roof but with the asbestos boards now safely removed. This was built in the late 1950's and is interesting as it is a construction method rarely seen here but often used in a similar form in Europe. 

Looking back into the old flat from the new opening into a large storage area above the old stage.

Inside the counselling corridor downstairs ....

Looking along corridor towards new Youth Counselling Room

Looking back down corridor towards the stairs and access

Up to first floor level ...

The walls for the new counselling rooms are now up to underside of the first floor.

Work is progressing well after a bit of a delay and the contractor is pretty much back on programme. The floor joists have been delivered to site and will be put up this week. The photo shows the walls on the new counselling rooms up to first floor level and a little beyond for the wall at the front.
