You may have been wondering what is going on outside The Swan this week. Basically, we needed to upgrade the electricity supply. Previously, the pub was running on a maximum of 100 amps, the same as your own home. Now it has been upgraded with a three-phase supply, which will give us enough energy for all our needs now and in the future. Once SSE had completed their work, our electricians from New Leaf were connecting us up so we can have lights again … and also the capability to make a cuppa – essential!
The whole bar floor has now been removed, and the footings tidied up. The team are in today to restart rebuilding the floor. We should have the subfloor completed by the time of the BBQ. It’s hard to believe, but we have filled another skip (number five!) in less than a week.
It’s been fab for us to see volunteers coming in during the week. It has certainly helped us to make progress in the bar and also in the schoolroom. Tony, Bez and Elizabeth came in for a chat and ended up preparing some of the wood ready for painting. Jim popped in for an hour and helped tidy up the footings in the bar.
