Thursday night at 6:15pm is Goodgym Windsor night ππββοΈππ»ββοΈand tonight we were helping Age Concern at the Spencer Denney Centre sprucing up their entrances.
This was a community mission so Helen, Mandy and Caroline met at The Binoy on Dedworth Road for a social run or walk to the task and Adam and Didem met us there.
We were met at the centre by task owners Rachel who showed us where everything was and what we needed to prep and paint from blue to a pale sage green. The plan was to make the front entrance bright and welcoming. Lots to do but in true GG style we had no com-paints ποΈ
We got started with masking up the areas we didnβt need to paint or to protect like the tree mural thatβs fasten to the wall. Then with the sugar soap solution cleaning the walls of grease, dust and bits of blue tack etc. Once dried off we chose a roller or brush of choice and got painting. No area was glossed ποΈover
Caroline chose the radio station and Mandy got the tunes on like any tradesperson would! Doing a first coat on all walls and skirting. We chatted and exchanged our news while we worked.
Adam and Helen got a bit emulsion-al ποΈ about their walls but we all thought the finish was perfect.
Didem , Helen and Caroline battled with rinsing and soaking the paint trays , brushes and rollers.
We did get a bit splattered with paint but we just just brushed ποΈ it off π€£
Looking forward to the second coat and starting the other area next time ππ»
After the task Caroline and Mandy made their way back to the meeting point for goodbyes and the Windsor Curtsy π the others went directly home.
Thank you as always for attending ππ»
