The floor boards
The top floor of the Silo Tower was rotten, with wood worm, water damaged and falling apart, and we removed what was left of it, to replace it with new joists and floor boards.
The scaffolding now has to be removed to the lower level so we can start to replace the second floor.
When the rain finally stops work will resume.
