The Decoration Begins!
Progress Report on the Church Development
- Monday 25th and Tuesday26th – scaffold erected (to be completed on Thursday afternoon).
- Wednesday 27th – decorators in – undercoating white paintwork around the windows. Heat on to dry the paint but succeeded in drying the wooden planks on the scaffolding – walls and windows wringing wet and a very interesting odour in the church!!
- Sunday 31st – Planks drying nicely. View from above and definitely in the pink! First coat of paint applied to front and back walls and one side wall.
- Next progress report soon ….
- Saturday 6th February – Lots of progress made this week. Decorators finished all painting bar the areas blocked by the scaffolding. All light shades down and washed – if anyone knows where we could source a shade as pictured – dimensions 15cm across and 8cm deep PLEASE get in touch.
- Scaffolding due to come down on Monday 15th February; decorators finish off on Tuesday/Wednesday 16th/17th February and then a MEGA clean on Thursday and Friday 18th and 19th February ready for the Music Society Concert on Saturday 20th. IF YOU HAVE ANY TIME AND ARE ABLE TO HELP – PLEASE COME WITH DUSTER/SWEEPER OR ‘UNARMED’ AS ALL WILL BE MADE MOST WELCOME!
