(Thankfully this chimney on a car was not one of ours - but it easily could have been!)
Happy New Year to you all.
Having just seen these images on the BBC News website tonight of the effects of the strong winds on some Scottish tenement chimneys, I for one am relieved that ours appear to have withstood the gales. I think some masonry did come off a roof in Elm Row and also in Leith, so this really does highlight how important it is that we all take collective responsible for maintaining our building.
As you will by now have seen in the Full Building Survey that we agreed to commission a few months ago, at least one of our chimneys is in a rather delicate condition so we could seriously be said to have had a lucky escape.
Thank you to those of you who have already reimbursed me your share of the fee that I paid on your behalf, and would politely request that others do the same as soon as possible please: as posted on 27 November 2011, the share per property (14 of us) is £42.86.
Many thanks,
Catriona
