Lets get started

With a list so big, it's difficult to know where to start.



Maximum use of available floorspace was essential, so a plan was formed which made best use of space and provided us with what we needed from the premise.

While that was happening, we got to work painting the inside of the building. As the breeze block was "fresh" it swallowed paint at a surprising rate!

Each wall panel (between the white beams) soaked up 10 Litres of high quality masonary paint on the first coat!

We're keeping track of total materials used converting for our own Custom requirements which we'll no doubt itemise at or near completion of works.

With 8.2 Metre Eaves, we were struggling to reach from our step ladders, so we called in the big toys. (Thanks to Hi-Reach) who are conveniently located on our estate.







Mike, and Mark obtained another "gadget" in the shape of an industrial paint sprayer (boy those things are messy) and took around 5 (long) days to paint the walls, and another to do the Gloss border (by hand).


The ceiling lights were inspected and cleaned while we had the opportunity, along with the running of some VERY large armoured 3 phase wire over the main beam to a new distribution board on the far side of the building.




The view was great from 10 metres up on a scissor lift which could be driven while extended.


As can be seen, we've already got stairs up onto the original office (our new engine building room) roof, but at this point, there's a surprise if you get to the top of the stairs and are not concentrating!
