These wheels wheely don’t work
2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Lambeth.

Here's what Ms A of SW16 had to say about the mission:
They did a splendid job! Thank you thank you!
Will and I arrived to help Mrs A on a blustery Saturday to help her move some furniture around to make space in her flat. Our first job was putting the feet back on a bookcase since they had fallen off when it was moved previously. This was a little tricky as the holes had been worn so the screws wouldn’t tighten properly. Will had the genius idea to use wall plugs to fill the gaps and provide enough friction to keep the feet screwed on. So with that, the main job was done! We had to wheel a heavy cabinet out of the way to fit the bookcase in the hallway (wheeling being a bit of an optimistic term for the shuffling that occurred since the wheels were a bit stiff). After a quick hoover and another cabinet shuffle, we re-filled the bookcase with all of Mrs A’s various books. A task well done, we both jogged off home and tried not to get blown away by the wheely strong winds!

Well done both, sounds like some solid ingenuity with the wall plugs
