Work has stopped ... Indefinitely

Well there was a reason why we hadn't heard from SS for a while - he's left the company. We only discovered this when we called his phone only to have the construction manager answer. That interesting fact would have been news enough but there was more! The scaffolding is too close to the street powerlines so we need to apply to have the lines covered. How long does the application process take - "How long is a piece of string" was his reply. So there will be no work on site until this is sorted.
