Work on the Trading Hut Continues......

Just in case you haven't been to the allotment lately, this is what has been going on since the Trading Hut was erected.
Alot of hours have been put in and alot of progress has been made!
As you can see, Carl & Nigel - along with Ron, Mike and others, have been busy transforming the interior of the Trading Hut by fixing plywood to the concrete walls

They have to be fixed to the concrete using extra sticky bonding which was very green and very sticky! Nigel's fingers looked more like SHREKS fingers - all covered in green!!


These were then painted white by very generous allotment holder volunteers - it was a fun few hours - cold but fun


Ron, who has put in hours and hours and even more hours was there in the freezing cold today painting what will be the counter and a cabinet.
As you can see, Ron is standing in what will be the store room. To the left of the photo you can see the sectioning that Mike has made an excellent job of - the door between the shop and the store room was being put in today also.

Help has arrived!

Others helped by making teas & coffees, supplying doughnuts (jammy ones!)
There was a really nice community spirit at the Trading Hut today!
Keep tuned in to find out more as the weeks progress - only 2 weeks to go!
