More electrical outlets and lights…

| Having finished the wiring, Andy Kemp then volunteered to help us with the plastering! | ![]() |
| And here it is with lots of new sockets and ready to be painted! | ![]() |
More shelves for cups, mugs and plates…
We had planned to buy Odeche timber but then Ian Gibson volunteered to supply Oak from a Thedden tree…. all we had to do was prepare it…
| First we had to move the 5 meter (!) ‘planks’ from where they had been stored and seasoned… thanks Ed Neish! | ![]() |
| Then just cut them into the sizes we need… | ![]() |
| Then put them through Ian Gibson’s miracle planer to turn them into the same thickness…. (many, many times!!!!) |
|
| And the onto sanding… well maybe after a tea / coffee break! |

| Making the frame for the big screen in the entrance hall… |
