Helen & Douglas House put out the call for some extra volunteers to help with their garden renovation project. The GoodGym tasks for the project were unfortunately cancelled due to bad weather, so with some spare hours on Friday afternoon I offered my help.

Although it seemed counterintuitive on such a wet and windy day, my job was to pressure wash the tarmac paving to remove mud, before the resin is laid on Monday. It was my first time with a pressure washer, and I think I've found my new favourite tool!

After an hour or so, an unexpected delivery of 5 pallets of gravel meant that it was all hands on deck to move it from the truck into the car park. A fun way to end Friday afternoon!
