SHARROW CONSTRUCTION BUDDIES
Two very special friends who are responsible for letting us all know about the progress of the design and construction of the new primary school due for completion summer 2007. Latest postings are at the top. E-mail comments to brixandmorta@hotmail.co.uk

THE MAIN ENTRANCE TAKES SHAPE
We went to see the canopy over the front door (that's the thing above the door that keeps the rain off). It's made of wood and has two 'glulam' beams (they're the big bits of wood made from lots of smaller bits of wood-'glued laminations'). The big beams that held up the hall roof in the old infants school were glulam beams, they have been made into the new reception desk.
The canopy is held up by columns that are at an angle.
INSPECTION TIME...We had a close look at how they were put together by CONSTRUCTIONAL TIMBER-from Barnsley.
