Peter’s Hospital Diary

Feeling a lot better today, although my palms are quite sore, as are the soles of my feet. I am still a bit itchy but it doesn’t seem quite as bad as it was. My face is still a bit sore (shaving was a little unpleasant!) but the swelling of my lips and eyelids has definitely subsided – a bit less like elephant man!

But I’m sure the burning question will be “How is the conservatory?” 🙂

Work started first thing this morning and is still in progress as I write (I can jusrt see the corner of it from my study window) A lot seems to have happened very quickly – the first stage was putting up the side walls

which seemed to take no time at all. After that came the building of the roof structure – just like a big Meccano kit (for those who remember Meccano!)

Once the framework for this was completed, it was bolted onto the side walls, giving the basic building outline.

The rest of today is being spent adding liners to glazing bars and sealing joints, and adding the fixings for the internal fittings etc. The glazing panels should be arriving tomorrow, although they may not be fitted until Wednesday, when it should be completed (apart from finishing the floor which can’t happen until everything has dried out in about a month or two)
