Completion of the Green Room Floor
Towards the end of August, as arranged the guys turned up to prepare and screed the floor (see photos) ready to receive the vinyl floor covering.
This is something of an art to get level so it was undertaken by a local building company. Once laid, average thickness of about 40mm, takes 1mm per day to dry out, i.e. about 6 weeks. This was aided by a dehumidifier which helped keep things on track.
The next task was to line up John Anderson, who has laid much flooring for the Theatre and always does a first class job. Well it would seem that most of the Island was having new flooring, so he was very much in demand!!!
After much grovelling and many phone calls we fixed a date in mid November to have the vinyl fitted and what better colour than, you guessed it, green. The self levelling latex was laid on a Friday and the vinyl followed on the next Tuesday.
Due to timing our Team still have the skirting boards to reinstate after which we plan to redecorate and give it a fresh new look.
