The Gardeners Rest Extension

Roof Installed at Hillmount Cafe Extension

 

The roof has been installed!

Hugh Miskimmon & colleagues have used a small gap in the incremental weather to install the pitched roof.  

James & 7 colleagues from CES have installed the ground floor screed.  This means this floor can be overlaid with our finished floor in 4 weeks.

The Electricians and Plumbers from Sheridan M&E have worked flat out to get the 1st floor ready for screed on Monday.

Derek McCullough Contractors have built all internal walls of the kitchen.   

My Colleagues Steve, Gary, Wayne, Simon and Hebie have worked as fast as possible to get the floors prepared for the screed on Monday.

Cup Cake Competition

The cupcake competition at Hillmount

Cupcake Display at Hillmount

Customers were delighted to see such a beautiful collection of hand crafted cup cakes.

The competition had 2 categories over 13′s and under 13′s.  The quality and creativeness of the entrys left our Judge with a very difficult decision to make.  The Judge commented how each entry had been made with a great detail to attention.  All the entrys where better than anything she has ever seen commercially available in Cafes.

After that all we need is a roof….oh and some stairs and some windows.

Cafe Extension Steel Work

Steel Structures have ereceted the steel work on site on schedule. However the roof Purlins are not level over the balcony section. But I am sure we can find a way to resolve the problem. We are slightly disappointed with the colour of the Galvanised balcony at the front. What do you think think of the colour of the front beam? Any tips on how to resolve this would be appreciated.
