The blog ends here. Nothing more to say yet ...

The keys were finally handed over last Thursday (22nd). Still some snags to resolve but it is now ours. A frantic Saturday and some days this week needed getting in the furniture, making the office serviceable and this weekend ... we open!

so close now. fencing taken down today ... keys on Thursday. and here are some shots of the interior ...

Looking good isn't she?

OK so not yet ready for key ceremony. Still need to "snag" which I think means listing all the "snags" - things that still need doing. Looks fab though doesn't it?

BEFORE

and AFTER in the kitchen

Look at this then - lighting up New Greens.

Quite unbelievably happy about it. We are also just hoping to use the fir tree in front of this sign as a Christmas tree this year. we usually have had a small artificial tree inside the building ... but this big one outside could easily become the New Greens Christmas Tree.

I feel all flushed with excitement.

Kitchen work top arrived and now fitted  ... and turf nearly all down. However one or two more technical issues arisen including wrong coloured acoustic panels. We will still get keys on Tuesday though!

There is flooring everywhere; Just the kitchen has outstanding work which should be done this week - so hand over of keys (fancy electronic plastic tags to wave in general direction) is on Tuesday 13th September . Still a bit of landscaping outside to be done and the first 10 days or so will be moving in our fixtures and furniture etc. Hope the first time it is reall used in on October 1st and 2nd weekend.

Views here of the foyer feature wall freshly painted

, the office carpet

and the small meeting room (Green room? Garden room?) carpet.

Its the same carpet but there are dusty footprints in the office.

Path and disabled parking spaces looking great today - and ceiling almost complete throughout. Here are photos ...

finishes at top of beams in hall.

view through to loos/utilities

great ceiling

So here's the latest view of the small meeting room (to be known, possibly, as "the green room")

and

the main hall with new floor (protected by cardboard at present). Also, the ventilation pipes for the new kitchen.
