This weekend we were able to see the latest stage of the renovation of the Dads Lane Community Association building, following the installation of the plasterboard. The whole downstairs is bright and white and ready for some colour!

But first, we had to prepare the walls. Most of the team grabbed some sandpaper to smooth off any rough areas, while I and Dan – who’s been working hard on the renovation for the past couple of years – filled in any divots.

There was also a stack of unused plasterboard that needed to be stored upstairs, so Sofeen, Louise, James and Sam (on his very first GoodGym mission!) took take of that. Meanwhile, Laura, Amy and I discussed the perfect colours for the space.

We’ll be back at Dads Lane soon as the reno project continues.
