Well the good news is that the ladder looks OK and so does the roof. The temporary support had been torn away, but as the roof was on three supports the other two held it up OK. Put the temporary support back in position and nail it in place. Breathe very large sigh of relief!

Back to the access ramp problem. Walcon think my proposal is too over engineered and will add too much weight to the ramp and exacerbate the problem. We look at the way the ramp is positioned at high tide and don't think that it'll float even with the upper float in place. Decide to position the float under the ramp tomorrow as the tide is rising to see if it picks up the ramp properly; before brackets are made. The good news is that Walcon are accepting that they need to solve our problems and they will get the brackets made ASAP.
