Renovations Diary: 19th July, 2019
Considerable work was done this week in the ladies loo to get it ready for the opening. It was one of the "must have's to allow us to open. Pete and Tony took the lead supported by Scott the Plumber and the volunteers.
Plumbing installed
Heating installed
New wall plastered (RHS) and floor laid
Marilyn got involved in the painting
Door frames readied
Pete the Builder laying the tiles
Preparing the vanity unit
Door removed readied for final bricking
Tony cutting the fiddly bits
Toilet ready for Saturday's opening
Whilst the building team focussed on the ladies toilet, the volunteers were working on the plasterboarding and to allow the plastering team to do their stuff. There was a lot to do and there was some long evenings to try and get the ceiling and pillars done. Still a lot to do after the opening but a huge step forward.

Looking good
John and Graham got stuck into the alcove door which Richard D had opened up. This allowed the removal of a door that was essentially never used and took up a lot of space. This will be receiving insulated fireboard before being plastered and finished with a benchseat.
