Pier Review

Photographs show where the pier was - from inside above and from the outside below. One brick pier is already down and the second is ready to go. The structural bracing supporting the trusses feels rock solid and hasn't moved at all during the recent strong winds. The gails have shredded the tarpaulin hung behind the old timber wall - I am planning to replace it with green scaffold netting which should be more resilient to the wind and also keep the worst of the snow and rain out. The old red bricks are worth salvaging. The original lime mortar comes off easily, although the newer, hard render takes off the face when hit with a cold chisel. Once the front is down the next step is to finish the timber frame............
