Here's what Mrs K of YO30 had to say about the mission:

We received an email from Mrs K who was very grateful for all the help and said, 'Thanks so much for the GoodGym work! I now have storage space that was desperately needed so I'm overjoyed and very grateful to the amazing pair who had quite a cramped area to work in and totally nailed it ( no actual nails involved) in just over an hour. Also really impressed with the care taken to set the mission up by phone, confirm by phone and email. I am thinking of starting a Good Gym fan club!!'

Mrs K had the parts of her new bookcase unboxed already and had a set of tools waiting for us when we arrived, so we got stuck right in.

While we were putting the bookcase together, we had a chat with Mrs K about all things GoodGym, who was very pleased to hear that York were topping the league in the January challenge!

After just over an hour, with surprisingly no falling out over who was reading the instructions correctly, and no mystery screws left over at the end, the bookcase was all done.

The last job was to move it into Mrs K's bedroom, which required a bit of tight manoeuvring ("Pivot!"), but we quickly got it into the desired spot ready to be filled up with books.
