Renovations Diary: 26th March, 2021
The Warriors have been hard at it again. Having previously installed a structural steel to support the roof this week saw the equally important installation of the cross-beams in the kitchen ceiling. The existing beams have been left in situ and are bolted securely to the new ones.

More walls are now fitted with the damp proof membrane, generously supplied by Permagard. The team were working both in The Store Room and in The Kitchen - even the new back wall was getting covered by damp proof membrane. Should last another couple of hundred years!

RAS Installations are in to start the riser for the kitchen extraction system. The area they will be working in is The Schoolroom to get this ready for after Easter GR6.

And the boys still had time to have a laugh too! Do you fancy it? Please do get in contact - we need more Weekday Warriors now that the weather is getting better. Stripping, painting ... you name it, we have a task or two for you!
