This is it. Today is the last day I must make everything look as good as I can. I would really like to get rid of the AV lectern that has been lurking in the corner looking a mess, so I ask Daryl if he can help me make a cover for it. He suggests asking Craig if it...

Today I have to write this all up and work out what else needs to be done. I think I should really paint the other walls between the big windows as they look really shabby now that the everything is in place. I think the floor could do with another clean, and then...

First job today is to hang the "Quilt" with Mark's help. With some Velcro on the brackets and then on the other side of the quilt its ready to hang.   It looks amazing. The space gives it light and energy, and it is far enough away from the wall to appear as if it's...

Time is marching on and today is the day I have to start assembling the work. Si is coming in tomorrow and I would like her opinion on the piece.   I start by hanging the textile on the windows. They look great. They are lovely splashed of colour in an otherwise bleak...

More filling and now onto the sanding, and more window trims. This is a long day and very tiring despite buying an electric sander.

Another day of filling the plasterboard gaps and now I'm adding wooden finishings to the windows. I had not thought about this until the windows were in place. I had hoped I would just fill the gaps with filler but they just didn’t look as sharp- or right somehow. So...

I had taken my moulds that I made in the workshop home as I thought I would have time to work on them. However I haven't done an awful lot as I have been so tired when I get home from building. However I do have to get on with it. So I make two pairs of hands in...
