Fitting out

The shopfitters have been hard at work since Monday and already you can see the building taking shape internally. We opted for wooden fittings rather than metal. They're more expensive, but they suit the building better and they can fit awkward little corners. Here's a shot of the dispensary. The front fitting will be behind the counter so we can serve you with medicines by just turning round.

The wheelbarrow is about where one of the tills will be, but there'll be another at the other end of the counter, so we hope to reduce queueing.

The kitchen has had a great amount of work done on it, with new walls, windows, ceilings and floors, and now the units are in place too.

The place is a beehive much of the day, with three shopfitters, painters, electricians, plumbers and a lot of carpenters hard at work, but now we're really moving forward at pace.

I'm not going to give too much detail on this blog from here on, because I don't want to spoil the surprise when we fling the doors open at the end of the month!
