Three Goodgymmers, Daryl, Keith and Lea, got their tools out, ready to tackle more flatpacks for another refugee family. Two wardrobes, four flatpacks?!?! Oh, two flatpacks each, luckily numbered nicely to get the right packs together. Tools laid out, screws, dowels and all the other bits and bobs lined up, wardrobe parts ready and waiting. Lifting, shifting, hammering and of course screwing in ALL those screws… One screw left, one dowel left, oh oh… no no they are spares, no problem! Phew! And eh, Lea, you are not supposed to hit your thumb with the hammer, ouch! Good teamwork resulted in two nice wardrobes set up in no time for an Afghan refugee family to use as from next week. Well done, team!
