Freezing Weather Stops Work

Unfortunatley due to snow and freezing weather, we decided that the site was un-safe for work today. Brickies turned up, but we decided that conditions on scaffold were too dangerous. With the Weather forecast set for more of the same, we have stopped work and closed site until after Christmas. Laying brickwork in freezing conditions is not a good idea anyway - if the mortar freezes before going off it crumbles and flakes and will need re-doing.
Bit of a blow but better safe than sorry..
It didn't stop me doing a bit of clearing around the site today - and i hope to get some of the ductwork for MVHR done during the Christmas break - you gotta keep chipping away at the work.. every little bit done means we are a little bit closer to moving in!

Thanks to everyone who voted on the poll - we have no idea when the build will be finished - obviously sooner the better, and were hoping that the poll would give us an idea. Unfortunately all options received the same votes! we do hope to be in before sep/oct - so if you voted for that - thanks a lot!
