Topping Out (restarting the blog!) 5th May 2021

We haven’t written here since early May - and we want to catch up!.

On 5th May we had a topping out session, with Gil (our architect, Gil Shalom), Dai (our builder, Dai Rees) and the building peeps. Gil hadn’t seen the building before and was pretty excited having driven down specially from Nottingham. He got to look round, everyone wrote and drew on the walls, we had fish and chips on the steps opposite and a few beers. Fun!

So Topping Out is a very old habit of builders, traditionally including yew branches and celebration when the top structure is in place.
