Sink is in the Stewards room now with hot running water.
We just need to finish the waste and put the doors on.
We have fixed Elaine's door closer also

Thanks chaps, good jobs done. It is becoming difficult for me to find jobs for you as we are getting on top of everything at long last. Painting jobs seem to be the outstanding ones now. There might be some I can find for you in the porta cabin toilets----pipes to the urinals very loose in some. Not as smelly as the changing room toilet though. :lol:
Oh aye, the ceiling in the director's corridor looks as if it about to cave in at the HSE.

Its on our list Capman, Concentrating on the outside work and making the most of the weather. But when the weather changes we will be forced inside.
I was down last night and I think you would agree its starting to look a nicer place to visit. The pitch has also improved with the recent rain.
Still lots to do, but we have made a start.

Ian, are you still wanting scrap metal to raise money or has that run its course now?
It all comes 'round again.

Nigel, I think the scrap metal request is an ongoing thing.

Still taking it Nigel, we just shifted a load this morning which is now starting to clutter the place up so I'll have to get back in touch with laddo the scrap man.

Good turn-out this morning on what turned out to be a very nice sunny day.

JCubb & his lad turned up for his trailer & took our frame of a trailer to do up for us which'll be a massive help rather than relying on people all the time.

Big Al was in & out of the M A with tools but never got the chance to see what he was doing.

Steve A took down all the advertising boards from behind the HSE goals all the way to the main stand. Good painting job for during the week if anyone can manage that. I'll get some more paint tomorrow for the walls.

Ste Story came down & took some measurements & photos of the home changing room top half of the walls. I think he'll be waving his Paul Daniels magic wand over some computer screen to let us see what he's come up with later this week.

Myself & Ian (red van joiner) tidied another bay under the main stand which will now become the storage area for all the woodworking gear/lengths of wood/kitchen base units/doors/toilets/sprinklers etc. We'll eventually put shelving & racks up in that bay which will then allow us to store any donated items that might come in for future use.

Ian (white van joiner) Sorted some door JM has wanted doing for a while in the Cross Bar then carried on with a door frame that Mrssenorita was building for the away directors room. He then managed to get that fired onto the wall & will just require some plastering now.........any plasterer's???

John M was doing some painting over by the pop side burger van then doing his best impression of Elaine with a hoover cleaning up after Ian (white van joiner)

Both Whitty's were back in their second living room again doing the final touches to the stewards sink & unit, I think that's now got hot water as well.....not too sure on that though :?

Also thanks to the anon donator of all the pretty much brand new kitchen units & Ian (red van joiner) for transporting them. They've been stored in the M A ready for any future jobs.

Whitty 69's Daughter & Whitty 64's Daughter were busy roaming around the ground with wheelbarrows picking up rubbish & skipping it, they also took a load of rubbish from the M A to the skip as well. Both Daughters don't take ANY looks from either Father.....not a bad thing :lol:

Still looking for a brickie & a plasterer for a few job's, if you can help out a PM or post on here will be fine :)

I can donate a few items such as my left sock from the 5-1 v Germany (got a little hole in it from a challenge by oliver kahn) and an old photo of me and nick barmby(signed) , if you want to auction them off.
i scored in the 5-1

Ian, is that skip going over the next few weeks. Was scoping the area out for the family day and that's one of the few things that will need doing to make the area clear for the various activities we have planned.

I'm happy to do the other bits of tidying to sort that area, but that's one thing I can't do!
