I apologise for the lateness of this week's episode, however the end of the period was been overshadowed by Hurricane TOMAS which arrived unexpectedly on Saturday. The island was subjected to 24 hours of 70, gusting 90 knot winds and torrential rain which caused substantial damage throughout the island.
Here you can see the Stone House - Brett & Sabina's temporary home whilst the Tea House is built - which had one half of the roof completely blown away ......
... and landing on the vehicles parked in the drive. This occurred half way through the storm and, with conditions far too dangerous to work in, the inside of the house was subjected to 12 hours of torrential rain.
Fortunately the Tea House suffered no structural damage with only a few trees losing their branches ...
.. and, along with the leaves, landing in the pool which flooded its 'banks' during the downpour.
Prior to TOMAS, progress was made on site with the external stone-work being cleaned and all the window and door frames being HLSed.
Kenrick also began fitting the windows which had passed delivery inspection!
Work also continued on the roof with the tiles now complete to the ridges and awaiting the ridge caps.
As yet the telephone system has not been restored and we are unable to contact the supplier to ascertain the fate of the kiln. With all fingers crossed, we should be able to report next week.
