Scaffolding

At eight o'clock the doorbell rang. The man from the scaffolders had arrived bang on schedule. No messing about, he got straight down to work and he and his mate started planning and erecting the scaffolding tower needed to provide access to our chimney.

An hour later, it was done.

Tomorrow we expect the fireplace installers to come and use the scaffolding to drop a liner down the chimney (to reduce the bore of the flue), and install our new gas fire.
