Hello everybody,
This is the first post of the PRINTING WERKS blog. A new home to keep everyone updated on the progress we are making in getting our new screen printing studio up and running!
07.06.09 Building and Digging Day #1
The sun was shining as the group began digging to clear away the soil that had been causing the back wall to get damp. This was pretty heavy going and very dirty but quite a lot of soil was moved and hedge and honeysuckle cleared.
We are hoping the soil will be ok to reuse in the planters but it will need sifting to remove large bits of rubble and debris. Sadly most of the soil that was dug on Sunday maybe contaminated with asbestos, so it looks like we may have to separate any further soil that is dug up.
Inside the space, work was done on finishing plaster boarding the back wall, also a start was made on the building of the frame work for the wall that will separate our Print studio from the main building. Time ran out very quickly that day so the rest of the framework build for the 4th wall will be carried on next Sunday the 14th! ( fingers crossed we may even have ideas about the windows by then too!)
A big thanks to everyone that has helped so far we have made amazing progress and things are slowly beginning to take shape.
