Well, we finished the weekend's work on the common room last night, at about 9pm. A few of us added a "bonus" session yesterday evening to get it finished, and it looks great. Photos will be up soon, as soon as I collate with Scott & Kevin the pictures we all took. Classic moments included me and Kevin showing just how handy we aren't by making a real meal of the relatively simple task of putting a screw in the wall to hang the clock

"Do you have a masonry bit?" "I dunno" "What colour's the end on a masonry bit" "They come in different colours" "That looks like it's probably what we want" "Got a rawl plug" "Ah, good point" "What size do we need?" "I dunno" "Well, what size screw are we using?" "This size"

At one point the [Scott's] drill literally stuck in the wall, wouldn't come out, wouldn't drill forwards, or backwards, and so I was standing there, holding this drill, with Kevin "helping", and we turned round to see Scott pointing the camera at us.

So, tonight the shelves will be being put in, and at some point of the next few weeks (ie when they arrive) there'll be a breakfast bar with bar stools, and a TV shelving arrangement. Then, eventually, the new chairs (that were ordered at Easter last year) might arrive. You never know...
