Plenty of steps and plenty of moving this evening with Rebecca and team at Restocked CIC!

After a quick jog to the task for Mandy, Hazel, and Ben, we were informed of our task: move lots of wood and equipment from one room to another before clearing out the "Monica" cupboard to tidy up and make use of the shelving inside.

Using the trolleys, dolly trolleys, and some GoodGym grit, we shifted a few...

  • table saws
  • drill stands
  • cupboard units
  • wood
  • paint tins

The foam storage contained a whole array of foam pieces of different sizes and types plus some cushions and pillows. After clearing that, we moved the shelves to the new carpentry room to make use of the boxes and shelving. The foam storage certainly looks more tidy now, even when using a door as a makeshift shelf...

Fuelled by tea, we managed to complete the task and get some info on the upcycled furniture, chairs, headboards, and other activities. Mandy also made the link for a potential collaboration of unused furniture from her place of work to be passed on, so fingers crossed for that!

Good session all round 💪
