Work in the common parts continued with the front entrance being prepared for the stone to the walls and floor. Plastering work was carried out. Common parts decoration continued. Doors fitted.
The fitting of the new Lift continued with the car built inside the shaft. Next week the Lift should be working but being further tested and certified before use, although they have said this for the last 4 weeks. There have been more delays and contractual issues with the Lift company but the Lift is close to be signed off for use. It will be in use by the end of July.
