Lodge Renovations nearly complete

After 4 months of work the lodge renovations are nearing completion.
In this period we have had a new roof put on the conservatory which has lighting built in.
The driveway has been mono blocked and a mono block path created completely around the property to facilitate wheelchair access to all areas.
The garden has been relaid after trees removed around the perimeter and wall and new fence installed.
Play equipment has been installed in the garden and the summerhouse replaced.
Internally the downstairs toilet has been converted into wet room with direct acess from both bedrooms..
The kitchen has been fully refurbished with new units and white goods.
Upstairs the fibreboard walls have been replaced with plasterboard.
The upstairs toilet has had shower removed and bath fitted.  
The house has been fully redecorated and furnished.

The lodge should be ready for our open weekend over 10 and 11 October,  where we hope to show our supporters the facility before it opens for use in November.
Photos of the lodge will be posted shortly.

Thanks to all who made this possible, we couldn't have done it without you.

Now we just need to raise around 30, 000 per year to cover the operation of the facility.

Lodge Update

Lodge Update

Its been a while since we last updated the blog.  We got the keys to the lodge on fri 16th January, and since then we have been busy building a list of work to be carried out and procuring quotes from appropriate local trades in order to have the required renovations carried out.

Soon to start in March will be the replacement of the conservatory roof with a better insulated, ridged roof from the supalite range and installed by a local Kirkcaldy based contractor.

Following on the main renovations in the building will start and should take around 6 weeks to complete.

Top to Bottom redecoration can then take place and the lodge can then be furnished.  It is our hope that it will be ready for use around August this year for families to enjoy.

Still just over £110,000 to raise to complete this work and run the facility for 3 - 5 years.  Will post some photos of the work as it progresses.
