Renovations Diary: 3rd July, 2020
The Coach House
The Jayflex team have continued to make great progress on making The Coach House a safe and exciting venue for use by both Green Room School and Swan activities. We are very lucky to be able to benefit from their skill and generosity.
The lintel over The Coach House doors was replaced with a steel.

The guys have been ploughing on with the brickwork and got it ready for the lintel to be put in place.

The steels were delivered but unfortunately the lorry with the crane could not get into The Courtyard, so the final placement was delaid to th 4th.

There is opportunity now to have a select number of volunteers back in to chip away at the list of jobs that can be carried out at the moment safely whilst observing social distancing. With a lot to achieve in the coming week volunteers are needed. Please do get in contact.
