Friday August 31st

Today was supposed to be a day of rest for Wellington House - mainly because a couple of members of staff are off on holidays so the rest of us are busy taking up the slack.   However, the redoubtable Bob decided he just had to get the ceiling finished before the weekend!   So the painting continues.

Over this past week we have managed to rip out many of the old bar seats in readiness for getting the shop up and running.  We need to do some major work to the electrics so people have been in poking at cables and sucking their teeth and offering their wisdom and expertise on what needs to happen next.   The plumber has also been in sorting out the heating and the great news is that the newly painted and floored family space is now toasty warm and ready for Homework Club to start up next week.

The roofers have been looking at what needs to be done to ensure we are completely watertight too..... so it's all been happening.

The stock room has been painted and there is a lovely bright red carpet down in the Dare2Care area and the upstairs Houses to Homes furniture store.    Hard to imagine that so much has happ
ened in such a short time.
