Finely polished

At the very beginning of the construction, our Mission Statement was to build a high quality facility, and now we are reaching the end of the journey, the quality of the workmanship and thought that has gone into the Bluebell Centre is becoming apparent … in particular, the floor, recycled Oak from Pitzhanger Manor, collected, stored, moved, cleaned, laid, sanded, and now finished! gleaming and looking oh so beautiful.

Some other photos to complete the story to date

Now the site is cleared, we relandscaped it; there was a fence along here, but we are replacing it with a hedge.

the Team celebrate Christmas ….

there was a leak … here someone (Debbie, I think) hoovers up the water. Sadly this means that the Lab. Floor had to be lifted and the insulation removed.

Archaeology, finished for the year … so we backfilled the trench, a layer of sand to define and separate the discoveries from the infil, for the benefit of future archaeologists.

The Old hut has been cleared (a lot) and tiidied, and is now much more useable too. More work to do in here …

Floor sanding in progress;

The cause of the leak; a pipe joint gave way; seems the olive did not grip on the fitting

Len working on the new hedge line; we’ll underplant with whips and cuttings soon, in the hope that they root.

We had a skip;here it is, arriving, with some of its “fodder” – water damaged cupboards that we need to get rid of.

All welcome; wildlife have moved in already

The floor before sanding

The old Level Crossing gate (on the left) has come back into use, and we ve widened the opening to make it easier for the contractors, by adding this second smaller gate.
