Going up in the World !

Wednesday 9th - February 2022

It was one of those days  what to do , weather okay`ish until diner time then we had a few showers , so most volunteers then drifted away.

Vic headed to the gardens to do a bit of tidying but least the Snowdrops are out. 

Peter Q and Dave headed upwards to the guttering that surrounds the station building to give it good clean out. Only 2 wheelbarrows full this time !

Vic had a good go at cleaning the windows inside and out , whilst above him Mike was giving the newly erected canopy extension a lick of paint. 

Brian was using up the last of the wood preserver on the drive way fence. Later he headed up onto the scaffolding to help with the painting with Mike.

Tony and Peter K gave the car park drains and adjacent paths a clean up.

Half way through the morning a delivery of sand and more paving slabs saw a break in the cleaning up.

Its a long way from this part of the station to the storage area but Pete ( almost 81 ) is still up to the job.

Talking of a long way away.

Spot the smoke in the distance , well that's where Pat is , he make a little heap of chopped down shrubbery and occasionally sets fire to it.

 

Keith and Ron had them selves a nice job ?

Re filling the cracks between the platform slabs , fair play they managed to get to the end of the platform 1 before the rain started.

Fellow Blogger Jo is still off with the Covid , so no pictures are out showing what the lads on the canopy extension are up to.

This picture of the extension taken about 2 days ago , what is happening at the moment is the installation of the Guttering and pipe work on both sides. The daggerboards for the gable end and the run off for the stair case all fiddly stuff which takes time.
