Painting Progress in the Friends Room

Great progress made by the Sparkies, Dave and Keith, in the cinema. The new conduit is in place ready for wiring.

After last Monday's good progress with four painters on the project (thanks Mike S for all your great help!) this week the team was reduced to two. Just a bit more scraping down and PVA-ing...we'll soon get it all finished, Sally, honest!

Today I purchased a load of Plastic conduit and fittings for the Friends Room and will bring it all down on Monday, so perhaps we can make a start on that, although firstly I would like to do a bit more to the fire place - filling holes and painting.
