Cables! Cables Everywhere! - Priory Update

The electricians are back! So much so that, after another burst of plastboarding, our man George has had most of the week off so as to keep out of their way. On the left of this photo you see another wall duly boarded out, and if you look carefully you'll also see some of the cabling.

The one below gives a better insight into what, to the amateur observer, looks to be a chaotic jumbling of wires. The chief sparks, however, ensures us that it's all fine and that it will make sense and work!

Below: Another view of the hallway, and loads more wire. We had rather thought that the first fix electrics had been completed months ago, but various refinements to our plans and on-the-hoof improvements mean that it's turned out that quite a bit of extra work and cabling is now needed.

It's a big job, and it's certainly going to stretch into the coming week. This is good, because it's getting it done and getting us closer to the finish. Less good in that electrical supplies on this scale are pretty expensive, and the labour of skilled electricians in even more so.

That makes extra donations especially helpful and welcome right now. You may remember that we suggested that some of our wonderful supporters might need to take a break from chipping in while the post-Christmas credit card bills were paid off, and that we suggested that payday this month and the first hints of spring in the new month might be a good time to help out again.

We very much hope so, and look forward to hearing from you - if the good Lord and your own diligent labours and savings have put you in a position to help now. Many thanks for whatever you can afford; at this stage, every extra pound or dollar is vital and really makes a difference.

Thank you if you can help, and God bless you if you can't. Deus Vult!
