Today elements started to be finished off, closed off and sealed.
The brick arch that formed the horizontal flue from the central kitchen range and the flue built into the rear wall was re-mortared today. This involved the making of a timber template to make sure that arch was supported and rebuilt to match its original form. All this brickwork will be hidden from view after the plasterers do their job and cover it with lime plaster.
A doorway which gave access to one of the cellar dwellings from George Street has been sealed up. This area is to be adapted to provide the new toilet facilities in the cellar. Unfortunately, they have to be put somewhere to enable the chapel to have modern facilities for its new users.
On the roof the chimneys have been sealed to prevent damp penetration into the stacks and the roof.
