well, that was quite a struggle...

I last wrote some crap about our build back at the beginning of this five-month exercise in complete disruption of our existence. A more naive time, in which I speculated on the likelihood of this not going as swimmingly well as it had started out.  And, to be honest... it didn't, in more ways than I could have imagined. Not because the various involved parties fell out - although they did, quite spectacularly on occasion - but because shit really does happen. Some of it inevitable small shit that had the capacity to break our ultimate vision. Some, rather big shit involving five tonnes of steelwork that deflected rather more than our structural engineer had calculated it should.  The repairs associated with this latter element are currently underway on the upper floors...

But I don't want to be be negative about it at the moment - because we have just about finished moving into the new space, the crap is mostly behind us and, in general, I think we've got most of it right.  The Christmas break was an ideal opportunity to test it out with others and sixteen of us on New Years Eve found it worked really well for mass food and drink and general end-of-decade celebration. Which was a large part of our motivation for doing it. So I'm not going to list all the difficult stuff we've been through - I'll do that another time - but just post a few pictures for the time being.

​Here are a few along the journey:
And four of the end result:
