We welcomed David to his first GoodGym session this evening - great to have you along! He certainly got stuck in with our task, helping to take down some shelving.

Meanwhile, Lucy, Richard and I joined Clare at the new unit to help put up the new Repair Cafe / Library of Things signage. Cue lots of scrabbling up and down ladders, then an emergency jig-saw break when we realised the sign was a little too long!

Back at the old unit, the rest of the team made great progress filling holes, taking down shelving and sweeping the floors. We finished up by taking a few bits and pieces across the new unit. Sinéad has reassured us that, despite appearances in the photos, she was not in drink whilst using a power tool!

So much achieved in such a short space of time - amazing work, everyone!

Unfortunately Mr D couldn't find the screws and bolts to attach the roof to his shed.

So we managed to place the roof on the shed and slot it onto its overlapping pieces. This measnt that all the items in the shed would stay dry. We then weighed it down so that it wont blow off.

Mr D said he will have a good look for the missing fittings or get some new ones before asking for us to come back and help.

The weather was incredibly kind to us this lunch time, and we were able to make real headway with the task at hand. We started off with some good old fashioned sanding to prep the surfaces, then spent the rest of our time getting the lovely blue gloss on as many surfaces as possible. Some of the previous emulsion had made its way on to glass of the windows, so we cracked out the white spirit to get things neatened up. We'll be heading back in a few weeks to finish the job, so keep your eyes peeled for the next listing!
