HOORAY, Our new Men's Shed is officially open, as of around 11.00am this morning. The much anticipated Occupation Certificate has been released by Council.
Now my friends, we are officially able to commence work in earnest to set up the Shed.
A good number of our members attended the 'Grand Opening' by The Hon Leslie Williams Member for Port Macquarie. At long long last the naysayers have been proved wrong. The project is completed, at least The Men's Shed side which to us is all that really matters.
We may drill holes in walls and floors to our hearts content. In fact we did begin last week to install the frames for our paint room. Tomorrow, Tuesday, we will begin the metal room framing and with a bit of luck might be finished the framing by Thursday.
Unpacking all our Gear and Put Up the Steel Framing
That will leave the cladding of the walls, shifting of lights and power points, painting, mounting the last store room cupboards, installing a new drop saw bench, setting up the kitchen, loading those store shelves, making doors for the paint and metal rooms plus more. Of course the workload will depend upon the number of toilers attending the shed.
As you will doubtless realise there will be no time for private jobs for a couple of weeks so as to concentrate our efforts on the set up. Then we may set to with a vengance.
Hope to see you in the Shed
Scott
