popped in at 5 after work for a few hours workshop starting to look great with loads of room. also managed to make a couple of the smaller changing room modules as someone made a real job glossing the back boards. any painters down this week theres 2 8x4boards to gloss white both sides and 2 more 4ft ones also..got some good photos of the workshop and modules starting to look good

Tommy, can you pm or knock a post up to Elaine about what wants doing as Graham will carry on with whatever you leave out for him but he doesn't read the forum.
I gave him thirty notes today to buy some blue & white gloss, he's done a cracking job in there for us this week & he'll be there another two or three days before weekend.

basically whats been said before Elaine but a good job if its raining
there are 2 modules stood up now in the workshop....can you get graham to paint the back of these white gloss.......the inside of the module is fine on these 2 just the backs want doing to protect against damp

also laid out on a table are 2 8x4 sheets of mdf drilled off....these need 2 coats of white both sides and edges.....will need 2 to turn these or move them

on the table next to these are 2 4 ft boards already white but need another coat of gloss both sides.....tell him they need to be as good as the ones stood up to look at.


outside, the toilet door blue gloss over the popular side that Big Al fitted and the new bits in and out of the turnstiles that are bare wood also blue gloss.

one of those 9 doors in the workshop I got from central joinery could have 2 coats blue on a tressel and I,ll fit this on turnstile c as its rotten if he gets through that .

think hes doing the rails in the stand as well but ask him to look at that rusty one right along the top row of seats at the back as looks a bit of a mess

cheers Elaine...other ise just potter about as he does....doing a great job

Good God in Heaven, how many pairs of hands do you think Graham has? I am going to have to write that lot down as I won't remember all those instructions.

They better hadn't have made any mess transferring the rubble to the skip as I swept all that area last week. Wood shavings round turnstile left on the floor too. It's all well and good making things but not clearing up afterwards spoils the effect. I spend my time clearing up after everyone, especially where the old paint has been scraped off the walls prior to painting and left
I am in a bad mood today.

Tsk, tsk - well Mrs H it wasn't like that when I sorted your overflowings. I left the place tidier than when I found it I'm sure you'd concur - the mark of the master craftsman.

PS
Don't go into that roof space - that's where I dumped all the shit.

[Klaus Moogintaal]

Following on from the painting. All bare wood MUST be primed. And if anything is glossed it HAS to be undercoated first otherwise it wont last and will look like how it originally was. Ie: Shite!

Ask nicely and wards may mix the undercoat the same colour as the gloss for no extra cost.

[Holkerbird]

Feeling better now I have had a good sweep round the changing rooms etc.
It's Lady Holkerbird if you don't mind Wintergreen and yes you did leave the area tidy and I am happy to say the leak remains fixed.

Is anyone going down tomorrow night as the man from Bargain Booze came to pick up their advertising boards but they were buried at the back of the workshop with a load of boards etc on top of them. He is calling back on Wednesday afternoon to pick them up if you can have them ready for him please.

Graham was painting.

Did he say why Elaine? have they stopped their advertising deal with the club? If they have is there not one on the outside of the ground to come down? This is getting really frustrating now as we must be missing out on a small fortune that could/should be going straight back to the club!

On another note & this is probably a "no" anyway but.....

The BDF are wanting a new shop on the pop side, the ticket office in Vaughans car park will be ideal so I got a couple of quotes for a HI-AB. Does anyone know of someone with one of these that might be able to do it either as a favour or on the cheap? It'll probably take about an hour top's. We might even get away with a heavy duty trailer or perhaps even one of them break-down wagons that pull the car onto the back of them as it's only a short journey around the corner.

After the meeting we had last night Vaughans car park has again raised it's head, as has some more brick work on the new toilets we have planned but we're again asking for someone with some basic bricklaying skills to help us out with some of these job's, we'll do all the labouring, we just need someone to put them back up.

[Lancaster Branch]

Capman/Leitchy is the most basic bricklayer I know Ian, give him a shout.

[Richard Ingham]

Would/could it not be a job for the college lads?

I have Dave, perhaps it might be better off you

Oldbarrafancumbak offered his help but I don't know how to get in touch with him & he doesn't seem to come on here anymore.

Would/could it not be a job for the college lads?

Possibly two jobs that are a bit too big for the young lads from college but I've got some smaller brickwork/walls lined up for them. I have to get in touch with matey-boy from the college shortly about the range of their future involvement - in the meantime we're stuck!
We seem to be able to cover most jobs in & around the ground but atm we only have one lad who can do this sort of work & it's far too much to ask him to take on.

What time is tommy down from tonight anyone ? 6pm ?

[mrsenario]

not down tonight no transport......no one turned last time up so back to sundays I guess and englands on

[tictactoe]

I know I'm being thick here, but where is Vaughans car park?

That strange little recess inbetween the end of the main stand & the corner of Holker St with the ticket office in.
