Dave and I met at Mrs E's flat but had to wait for the BRC helper to give us access. She'd travelled all the way from Essex to let us in! Once inside, we found the bed that needed to be dismantled to allow a hospital bed to go in it's place. We started with the mattress and dragged it into the living room and propped it against the wall. Then we had to unscrew the headboard and improvise with a kitchen knife to unscrew and separate the two halves of the base. After we'd moved all the bed parts to the living room we found a broom and swept away some of the dust that had gathered under the bed.

Mission complete!
