Scaffolding has gone up at Property Sparrow's flat. Work on the roof is in progress.
This is music to Property Sparrow's ears.
She used to think that scaffolding was a sign of damage, that something has gone wrong with a building, that it was distressed in some way. It can be, of course. In this case though, Property Sparrow feels reassured; the poor old roof is receiving proper attention and support at last. She loves all the clanking about, the planking and the strong poles.
Spare a thought for scaffolders. They have been badly hit by the recession and there are about 10 deaths and a number of severe injuries in the UK each year.
