It's great weather
for laying bricks! Progress is rapid, with walls, doors and windows
taking shape. After a week's
delay, the project is back on schedule. The aim is to finish
the external construction by Christmas and internal fixtures
and fittings by Easter.

Look at that lovely
blue sky! The weather has been on our side and the windows and

The inside floor
space is now completely defined. Inner block walls and insulation
are rising with the external brick work. Tomorrow the scaffolding
will go up.
ALL the men working
on the project are local - mainly from Steyning, Upper Beeding
or Small Dole. Most were born here and educated at local schools.

The external walls
have reached roof height. Some of the steel beams, which will
support the upper floor, are in place. Eventually the Museum
window will become a doorway into the extension.
