Thursday 6:15pm is GoodGym Windsor Night! πŸ‘‘πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Tonight we were back helping Windsor and Eton FC CIC with removing the loose paint from the wall panels.

Special night for Helen with her 10th good deed tonight πŸ‘πŸ»

Jen, Helen and Mandy met at The Binoy. Jen went ahead walking while Mandy and Helen chatted about drink leakage issues 🀣 then we ran a longer route to the task.

Didem met us there as did the task owner Willie and we set to work at about 6:45pm.

Now the clue is in the title as we were under the expectation that we would be met with easy peeling paint like the first task we did a few weeks ago on this panelled wall. But we were wrong … SO wrong 😬 The wall opposite was a tough wall to peel. That pesky paint was just not wanting to part from its panel so full body weight was required and some serious sanding. Puzzled by the difference we thought about all the reasons why this should be. Same paint, same surface different sides πŸ€”We had a quick scrape of another wall and that was coming off like a dream. So we had a good wall πŸ˜ƒand a bad wall ☹️ still the dance music kept the energy up.

A hoover round to get rid of the scrapings of paint and dust to finish off.

We think we can all pretty much prep like a pro now.

After the task we said our goodbyes, took a Windsor curtsy πŸ‘‘ and made our way home.

Thank you for coming I hope your arms are not aching 😬πŸ’ͺ🏻 xx
