    That is looking really good!! I wonder how long it will take before things start happening in there and the overall look getting messed up? (Meant in the nicest possible way, with bits of metal here and there etc..)

    Boiler shop containers have already been moved back in to the shop this week. Can't be to long before the next part of the project starts. With cladding of the existing boiler shop.

    However it will take a little longer to dig out the old concrete floor as this part is much deeper.

    Here's hoping the recladding of the existing boiler shop has been done before the dry spell ends, like tonight!
    Will be a superb facility when completed.

    An update on Ropley boiler shop is that both internal roller shutter doors have now been installed and the side wall roller door has also been installed. The cladding from the existing boiler shop has now been completely removed to allow the new cladding to be installed. Work has also started on the extension to the front of the existing boiler shop with the digging of the footings and pouring of concrete in to the footings. Once completed this will put another twenty feet on to the front of the existing boiler shop.
