Priory Update Photos

The long, hard slog to turn an empty attic into a service dormitory space for four extra guests continues!

If you haven't seen the two latest video updates - one by Jim Dowson and Jayda Fransen, the other by Jim alone - then they're on our website and well worth watching.

But in case you haven't had time, here are a few of the latest photos for you.

Jim as the hole to the second attic is punched through the dividing wall in what is going to be the hallway.

A bit like an iceberg! This is the very top of the new, load-bearing wall which now stands from the ground floor right up to the loft. This is part of the structural work to strengthen the first and second floors, and to support the roof so we can maximise the space in the loft conversion.

Another view of the new studwork which will both support the roof and also give us ample storage space in the otherwise wasted space in the eaves.

More essential repair work, but at least a bit of sand and cement is cheap!

Looking through into the second loft room. Reinforcing the roof structure so we can remove those diagonal struts and open up the space is the very next job.

If you are among our stalwart band of brothers (and sisters) who have helped us get this far, please accept our thanks and appreciation once again. If by chance you haven't yet helped out, but feel inspired to lend a hand and help speed this wonderful venture to completion, then please chip in today - or failing that, how about next payday?

Every donation, large or small, is very much appreciated. And needed too! Deus Vult!
