More pictures of the Reading Room work

Here’s another picture of Jamie from TRAC Structural Ltd who is working on the medieval beam in the Reading Room. The noise, dust and smoke from the chainsaw is quite a change from the usual calm and cerebral atmosphere!

The image below shows the view from the Audit Room, underneath where Jamie is working. The extent of the damage can clearly be seen, along with the horsehair and plaster which has been used in previous botched repair jobs.
