Day 90 - Stone Gutters being Lifted into Position

Week 20 - Day 90
The individual stone blocks that will form the gutters to the front and rear elevation are beginning to look as if they will carry away the rain water. The gutter will be lined with a sheet of lead to make it waterproof, but first they have to be lined up accurately. Each is made to fit in the correct place and has been numbered accordingly.
The lewis chains and lewis holes seen being used in the video sequence have been used by stone masons from Roman times to lift heavy pieces of stone into position.
