Some questions answered -

Due to the recent lack of "cracking on" I thought I would try and answer some of the questioned asked of this project -

Why no webcam ? - my application was rejected due to "indiscreet and inappropriate proposed siting of webcam"

Daily tea consumption ? - apparently it is "ferocious"

It is an extension, not a conservatory - Correct, my fault.

How many seats going in ? - it is going to be divided into two rooms so I assume about 2,000 in each.

Pies ? - no pies.

Builders must be Polish ? - this could be so as they have disappeared after the disappointing 1-1 with Greece

Disabled access ? - I think this will be incorporated within the suggested ramp up events.

Concern over change in direction on a foul pipe - too technical for me - does this involve Mr Zaha ?

Who's the big name coming down to officially open it? - It was Prince Philip but I have been told that due to the lack of toilet facilities this is once again up for grabs.

Pitched roof or just going flat? - I sneaked a look at the plans - flat.

:thumbsup:

This is proposterous. You tell us it's going to be a conservatory, and it turns out they're building a bloody extension now.
That's my interest gone.
I fell for it last time when the building work started at Falmer and was told it was going to be hotel.
They only built a flippin' football stadium!

Is the lighting going to be able to light the other side of the garden up, unlike that awful stadium up the road?

Are the builder's advertising boards painted or electronic?

Well if it's going to be an extension now, then surely Doug Loft needs to be a guest of honour on opening day?

As a much valued member of the team and to keep you "on board" the project will now be referred to as a - brick conservatory - HAPPY NOW ?:tantrum:

With this increased capacity for the house, will there be a corresponding increase in parking capacity or will the additional guests be expected to use the already overstretched public transport network?
I mean, God forbid that any guests using the "Brick Conservatory" [Sponsor's name to be added later?] park in Moulescomb!

Will it also be used as a concert venue? If so, will the public transport services be terminating 30 mins before the end of the concert?

Yes. Ecstatic now it's all been made clear. I'm back on board.
I see they've put that poxy blue hoarding all around the site, just like they did at Falmer. Let me tell you, it's a bugger taking photos when the build gets to this stage.
You now need a step-ladder.

I see the "Bull Nose" edging is going across the lintels.
Can we expect a "Dog's Head" or "Wedding Cake" to be an essential part of this structure?
Is the roof going to be transparrent?
I've emailed ATC (Ask the Contractor), but you never get a reply.
