Day 200 - Fixing the Front Step
Week 40 - Day 200
The supporting structure for the front steps needed completely replacing. The iron bar was corroded. With a new steel girder in place the brickwork to support the stone steps to the front door can now be built up. The stone is ready to be put in place next week.
