Some before pics…the main room






Before the work...you can see lots of orange on the walls. there won't be any of that when it's finished!

The place was being used as a training venue for police dogs. As much as I like man's best pal, I am glad the smell of dog has been replaced by paint. The architect, John Rowe, who did the outline drawings of the place as was, came down here to measure up. When he next rang, he said something along the lines of 'did you know the police were using the place as a training facility?' in a very surprised, why-didn't-you-tell-me kinda way. I can only imagine them trying to measure the place up while the training was going on.

Also - spot the little Silas - that must be about 2 if not more months ago now...tiny! but he still is...

yes, and all that bench seating has gone, too

back soon!
