Sofa so good

Friday 7th August

Written by Woody

It was a pleasure to help Mrs V assemble the two sofa beds that she had bought. She was without a sofa or comfortable chair for a very long time since her last one had broken.

It wasn't an easy build as there were some challenges with it coming together, but we got there in the end and now there's plenty of comfortable spaces to sit in the lounge.

Shed Again

Thursday 6th August

Written by Woody

A return to Mrs E's as a pair of Good Gymers to finish painting a shed started last week.

This went incredibly well and the team of two were able to get two coats on the side not painted last time as well as a second coat on the rest of it, a job well done and a very happy Mrs E as a result!

RIP Van Periwinkle

Thursday 6th August

Written by Woody

Miss N was happy to see a Good Gymer return as some work had already been started in the garden a few months ago.

I continued what Bobby had started before and clearer more of the pathway and dove into the sides a bit more, which had become overgrown with Periwinkle.

Miss N was amazed at the results and can now start the next steps in re-claiming her garden!

Brilliant White Job!

Monday 3rd August

Written by Ian Gostling

Tonight was our first time visiting Frere Road Community Centre. After a 5km run or walk to the venue we met Claire who had all the tools ready.

The main task was covering the outside wall in 'Brilliant White' paint! It had already been prepared for us - thank you - with weeds cleared and paint dusted, so we could get stuck in straight away.

In an hour the 5 of us covered approx 10m, with rollers, ladders and brushes, making sure the bricks were covered evenly. Eloise also managed to cut back a tall bush at the front if the building to reveal a lovely canary murial.

The transformation was brilliant indeed! We hope to return for more painting very soon - there is plenty more to do.
