Steve Smith spent a Saturday overseeing the removal from the embankment of our track. This will enable us to do a stock take of what we have, so that a private contractor would be able to make an assessment and quote us on relaying the site so that we could move in. It is amazing the amount of heavy track we actually have. More is still to be removed lying in amongst the long grass

Three doors from our main building were removed off their hinges, sanded down and wood treatment applied. In the background, B.Z is painting a third door.

Welcome is up the ladder and sanding the walls down in the new office area. The terrible Brothel pink colour will soon be a thing of the past

The new door frame fitted and waiting for B.Z to finish painting the wooden door. The whole building interior is undergoing a makeover, so that we can move office into the main building

Almost gone, another 20 coats of paint and the dreaded colour will be smothered and ruled by a sparkling white shade. Note the old safe in the bottom left hand corner. A call to a locksmith could reveal the mysteries that may lie within!

Looking at the new office area. The old notice board has been removed for the wall painting. The corridor leads to the kitchen and then there is a doorway in that corridor that will lead to a room alongside and the toilet area. Another couple of coats of paint to go!
