Neuadd Ogwen gets doors!

The work on Neuadd Ogwen had been going on for ages! It had started in December 2021. The part of the work I was most interested in was the building of a porch for reasons of sound insulation. That process wasn’t straightforward, but in late October 2023 there was a porch. Not a finished one; it didn’t have stairs, doors, or render. As doors there were just bits of plywood put in position, so very sound-insulating this was not. The stairs appeared in November. 

I heard through the grapevine the doors had been long ordered, but would take a while. And the rendering was waiting for the doors.

One fine day in June there were sounds outside the house. And when I had a look I saw there were very substantial doors leaning against the walls, surrounded by workmen complaining about how heavy they were. Stuff was happening! And in two days they had installed them all.

Installed! Almost.

Really finished 

An added bonus for me was that they had built a little platform to get the door of the loading bay in position. And when they would be done, that would be redundant. So that was more firewood for me! I got so much from that project over the years…

The workmen said the plasterers would come the week after. It looks like the work is about to be finished at last! And then the concerts would be so much quieter!
