We focused in the previous blog on the demolition side of the Shed as we brought the ceiling down. We are on the up cycle in this blog as a new week started, Paul and Pat were there. Pat focused on some demolition at first (removing the kitchen ceiling whilst…
Sometimes a day does not go the way it is planned. Tuesday was just such a day. The plan was to tackle and complete connecting the new LED battens and to install 2 drawer units and 2 cupboard units under the worktop fitted the previous weekend. It had rained hard…
