Spent the whole day dismantling that fryer, went off for the trailer and it pissed down, so forgot the idea today, and even if I wanted and I dont, could not do it tomorrow as road is shut Sat and Sun due to French market, so Monday will be a busy day, Rick

You sell the fryer in the end Rick?

No Zac, once I started to take it to bits discovered that all the bolts were "whitworth" so how old is that? whitworth and BSF came before UNF and UNC and we have been metric for years, no wonder when owner put it on Ebay for 0.99p it attracted no bids, but I now have lots of SS with some nice folds which I am sure will come in handy later, plus loads of SS scrap which at £450 a tonne is good,Rick

Not much to see today, spent my time moving all the scrap (two trailer loads) from the shop to the yard, so now we have a bit more room to move around, Kieth and his mate screeded the new kitchen floor, pics tomorrow,Rick

Not mine, it belongs to Dave who rents a part of the yard for scaffold storage, no pics today as did another trailer load with the two canopies that were still fitted and some more ducting and hard core, prior to that removed the walk in freezer and transported it to a shop two streets away, had intended to reassemble it today but they needed time to empty the chest and upright freezers to make space, so came back and did the canopies while the trailer was available, yet more to the SS scrap pile, Rick

Floor screed that went down Monday

solarman216 · 20-09-2017, 20:46

Old canopy removed, ceiling shot

solarman216 · 20-09-2017, 20:48

Uneven floor to be sorted including buried pipes

solarman216 · 20-09-2017, 20:50

Where freezer was, now going to be Gents WC

solarman216 · 20-09-2017, 20:52

Another view of buried pipes all coming out

solarman216 · 20-09-2017, 20:56

Screed on here, more than 25mm dif in floor levels but took it as high as I could without dismantling and removing walk in fridge as not an option, given that my deadline is 5th November opening date

solarman216 · 20-09-2017, 20:58

Pipes gone
