The team at Wendover Shed have been extremely busy since The Hog landed on Hogtrough Lane on 17 February and our official opening on 6 March.
We started our Coffee and Natter sessions on 7 March and these have been a great success. There has been a huge amount of tea and coffee drank, multiple packets of biscuits eaten, and lots of natter. However, we have also managed to get a large amount of practical stuff done, including:
Fitted out our kitchen with a gas stove, the all important kettle, and a table and chairs
White boards and notice boards erected and put to good use with lists of jobs
First-aid and eye-wash station installed
Two sets of steps, a ramp and handrail constructed for disabled access to the workshop
Upgraded The Hog electrics for battery-based power, complete with replacement LED lighting
Taken receipt of a large number of donated tools, storage, benching and materials
Fitted out our initial workspace with benching and hand tools
Received Wendover Parish Council approval to increase our footprint to include an outdoor covered work area
Started to install a "garden shed" for storage of materials
The Hog has its own logo!
Is it really only one month since we first opened our doors?!
We continue at a pace and currently have three active projects on the go. Details can be found via the links below:
The Electrics - Off-grid solar and wind power
The Workshop - Fitting out the workshop in The Hog
The Outdoor Space - Increasing our footprint with a covered area in front of The Hog
We continue out Coffee and Natter session through April and hope to open to a wider membership with more focused Make and Mend shed sessions starting in May.
