We know at least one of you had an amazing holiday season - Congrats to Jeremy of Glowworm Bicycles, who won our Peats Ridge Competition last month.
Funding from Marrickville Arts Grants, allowed us to get stuck into fixing drainage around the north end of the building, enclosing more space for our workshop and building some secure storage. The ultimate dream is to make the space clean and organised for frequent communal use by members and community groups. Stay tuned!
Inspired by those works, we've spent the holiday season doing maintenance on the rest of our strawbale home and surrounds. Many thanks to the staff and members who volunteered their time and enthusiasm over the break, we couldn't have done it without you.
Many thanks to all our Bower friends and members, we know it's been painful having an enforced break from our Reuse wonder, but we're open for business as usual from today, and we'll make it up to you with rocking horses and kiaks, wicker chairs and shagpile rugs - all at great prices as usual.
In the interim, here's a look at our hard labour over Christmas and New Year.
* Fixing drainage issues that have long plagued our workshop and side drive. It might look the same by the time you next visit, but we've planted some seriously sophisticated drainage under the concrete and pavers.
* Improved ventilation in our Eco-Library to help hot air escape
* A second water tank and some serious gardening all round
