June Update!

Posted by admin on 10 Jun 2009 | Tagged as: Building Work

The work on the new kitchen, dining room & lounge is progressing well. The roof tiles are now all in place, the scaffolding is coming down this week & the floor is in. David ( the foreman) informs me they should be starting plastering next week. It is all taking shape & as with the bedroom extension  more interesting tasks await me……..looking at carpets, lighting & kitchen design. The height of the ceilings gives a feeling of space & the windows give so much light, it will be a big difference to the dark dining room we had before.  With the better weather we have been able to take avantage of having quiet areas round the side of the bedrooms & although the grass finally grew so did the weeds!!

This is a picture of the new lounge, taken from the front of the house. The three windows are bay windows, making an interesting feature & replicating the two apexs at the front of the main house.

The money raised goes towards outings & activities, earlier this week a mini bus & various cars took 15 clients to Norwich Theatre Royal to see  We’ll Meet Again a compilation of singing & cabaret. Everyone had a lovely time, joining in with the singing & laughing at the humour! A big Thank You from all the clients to Elaine, Hilary & Teresa who organised the trip & all the staff who went along to help.
