Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Kash
Ms E had been living in her house for more than thirty years, but over the last three, she had been battling to have two tall trees trimmed. The trees had been growing in the neighbouring property, but kept dropping large branches regardless of the boundaries, even destroying Ms E's shed in the past. After years of anticipation, the overgrown branches finally came down, but - with them - a few planks off Ms E's fence.
The lady requested GoodGym's help with the repair, and Sevan and Kash from West London responded to the call. The task was a puzzle for all three, who were trying to figure out what the fence looked like before the neighbour's makeshift fixes, what parts were missing, what they could be replaced with, and how to piece together broken planks. After a lot of thought and trying things out, three planks found their place back on the fence, concealing an unsightly gap. The rest could no longer be attached to anything, and the GoodGymers had to give up there.
The remaining time of the mission was used to pull out and bag blue alkanet and trim a neighbouring plant invading Ms E's garden. Ms E concluded that GoodGym's help was brilliant, and even the presence of people coming to help her cheered her up!
