Broadway Station Maintenance Team: The Sun Shone for Awhile.

Week Commencing 20th March 2023

We turned up on Monday , No wind , no frost and no rain ! What's going on , is it still Winter ? The Morning then saw a flurry of brushes !

But first Dave fixed the handles that Peter Q had previously made onto this seasons Truggs, ready to be sold in our shop.

Vic gave platform 1 a sweep down. Whilst below Ian was fighting with the hose to get it back on its holder.

The weather was warm enough for Mike to apply Dark Stone to the Paneling outside the Kitchen Door.

Outside the Mess hut Chris was giving the Barrier a coat of Fence Life.

Pat was doing some thing Different ! taking ash from the fire area to somewhere , he did say but after a few days I have now forgotten !

One of his success stories was the area on platform 1 ramp , which was covered in moss .

Pat sprayed the area with cheap vinegar from, he said Tesco's and look at the result , just needs brushing down when it eventually dries up.

The weather was so kind that Brian and Dave with brushes and paint headed to the office.

I wasn't sat down having a rest . Brian did the middle 3rd and I did the Bottom 3rd,we then both did the top 3rd. by the end of the morning we had turned the corner , which was timing as it then started to rain again. Ian looked on having rubbed down container 3 , it too will get the same treatment on a dry day.

Rain stopped play again ,but mission accomplished , looking much better now.

Wednesday

Weather was dry and bright, most of the day , 5 turned out , but after last Mondays effort with the paint brushes there wasn't much enthusiasm to do Portakabin 3 !

Never mind, Peter carried on with the Trugg construction. Whilst Dave and Ian spent most of the morning cutting an old Rail we had found into 1 m lengths, they will be used to hold the new board at the bottom of the drive.
