Days 2 & 3 - Has it only been 3 days!?

Office Day - with 'help'

The Easter holidays are upon us, which means that we have both Henry & Clarence about at home. Given the excitement of everything going on in the pub, they want to know what is going on.  In particular Henry, he wants to do everything with me - he doesn't want to feel left out!

This meant that yesterday when I sat down to work on our new drinks list for when we re-open, he had to be involved! 

Normally I would get stressed about having to entertain a 4 year old while typing away at the desktop all the while thinking about whether customers are being looked after in the pub, how long have I got to get this done, then the phone ringing - the list goes on.  

Under the current circumstances with the pub closed, with no time pressure, no questions, no phone calls, we actually had a bit of fun!

Progress so far...

Now, Tony, the foreman on the project politely reminded me about the Health & Safety implications of being on, what really, is a building site.  For me to have official access I have to wear steel toe cap boots, high-visibility jacket and sign in to be allowed on site.  So my ability to take regular snaps has been hindered somewhat.  I shall endeavor to get them as regularly as possible though!

Conservatory Tiles

The conservatory has probably seen the most work in the early days.  The new tiles have started to be placed, pillars removed, ceiling & window frames painted. It's really starting to come together.

We have had painters and decorators here all over today, they have been working outside on all the external decorations too.

A bar in bits!

We also had a site visit from the lead designer, Leah.  She was very please with the progress so far, other than a slight timing issue with some tiles for the toilets we are right on track for our planned re-opening date.
