Hello to each and every one of you and a lovely big welcome to you all. The end is in sight!!! (Collective sigh of relief can be heard throughout the town). Our house renovation is close to being completed and it’s beginning to look a lot like a house that’s ready to become a home. We now have carpets on the top floor so these rooms are officially ‘done’. Steve Marsh, our carpet fitter, showed Andy how to lay the carpets and allowed him to show off his new found skills.
Our learners have been busy getting involved in a variety of tasks. Matty has been in charge of skirting boards – doing all the measuring, cutting and fitting. He has also been painting ceilings with Leon. The team from the Skills Mill worked out in the rain to paint plant pots, arrange stones and undertake planting.
Jamie from JK Tiling and Bathrooms has just about completed the bathroom tiling and we FINALLY have a fully functioning toilet!
It feels like we’ve been working on the house for a while but it’s actually only been 12 weeks which is pretty amazing, considering how much work has been done. We are all looking forward to a relaxing Christmas break once the work is finished. (Michelle and Sarah will be found laid beneath their respective Christmas trees with a Baileys/Bacardi in hand…) Join us for the next blog instalment soon – as we face the final curtain of renovation life.
