April 2010 update

Apologies once again for lack of updates. I though I had posted something after Ramadan last year, but ......................

Anyway, the situation since the last blog is as follows:

1. unfortunately, due to various delays, (water connection, central heating etc) it was decided to not rush the opening during Ramadan, and soldier on and try to complete the full masjid before having a grand opening.

2. A lot of work was carried out during the last quarter of 2009, and early 2010. Again, delays due to central heating not completed, added to the severe cold weather has been a great factor in the lack of progress.

3. End of March 2010..........

the internal works are 95% complete, all that remains is the Mehrab interior (you will see below work in progress on the ground floor mehrab, same to be done on first floor mehrab), carpets, final electrical work, suspended ceilings to be completed near first floor mehrab, tiling in the two lobbies, and some painting of the corniches in the main prayer hall.

Here are the latest pictures....
