The Restoration Begins....

For the next few months we're are embarking on a huge project across the centre.

Starting in the dining room we are having a complete overhaul, from a new floor to a new roof. This has been a long time coming and both myself and Adam have been looking forward to starting.


The Floor

The first job was to strip the floor, lifting up the 40+ year industrial lino. We had no idea what we would find, we hoped for the original pine floorboards but we just didn't know.

As we lifted the horribly heavy lino and then a layer of plywood we discovered a beautiful floor, the original pine floorboards!

There is some bad news however, in places the floor has been patched with chipboard which will need replacing, but all in all we are over the moon.

What next?

We have so many ideas of what we think we should do, one I am very excited about is a log burner in the corner, which I think will look great.

We have got a mammoth task ahead of us, the roof primarily. We are hoping to secure some grant funding to help us with that but we will have to keep are fingers crossed.
