It was a very productive week for Project Cowshed this week. The team worked hard clearing out (yet more) stuff in preparation for work to ensue. Painting continued on the walls and rafters, and consideration went into the final design aesthetic. Sam worked on stencils for the back wall, and Elliot clad the steel sink that will go in the back bar when complete.
Glenn and Steve had the tricky job of levelling the floor in the bar area, but have successfully made a platform (all from reused and donated materials)! The concept is to build a level platform so that the external bar can be safely hosted and manned. Those who know the area will realise that there is a big dip and lots of unevenness in that area (until about 1907, it was a cesspool).
More work will continue next week with the aim of having one side of the covered area usable over the Easter break.
