Oak

26/11/13 will forever be know to us as Oak Day. On Tuesday the Oak trusses were delivered and with it came crowds of people watching from the front of the house and at the back.

The trusses ordered after we were dramatically let down by a previous supplier. This put our programme behind by 6 weeks and caused an awful lot of distress and delay to our project. Somehow as a team we all worked around the problems but at a cost!

OakMasters of Hayward's Heath in Sussex were able to come to the rescue but we still had to wait 6 weeks for the trusses to arrive. On Tuesday they most certainly did.

A crane was hired and in they went. It took nearly all day as the hips by the bay had to be cut in site.

We added a special touch for austerity for our boys, their initials to the centre trusses.
