Mission

Ran Ours(h)elves Happy

2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Camden.

  • Dave Mansfield
  • Gosia Rybacka
 
Thursday, 9th of November 2017

It was the second mission in Camden today for Dave and Gosia. This time the task was to help out Mr P in constructing a medium sized bookshelf from Argos for his bedroom 🛏.

Before our arrival Mr P unpacked all components and prepared the tools for us (incl. decent hammer and two screwdrivers). Having all that sorted we were able go quickly proceed to the most fun bit - putting it all together 👨🏻‍🔧👩‍🔧😊.

Dave was smashing the task like a pro! - he carefully followed the instructions and was so smart to take along his electric screwdriver (our hero of the day) which helped us completing the outlined steps with a speed of light. Gosia - initially sceptical about her DIY skillset, started shyly by segregating parts, nails and bolts but quickly became more confident, soon dancing around with Dave's screwdriver like a real expert. Along the way there was a lot of teamwork 🤜🤛, chatting 💬🗨 and ... fun 😄!

Around 45 minutes in total and the bookshelf was done. Mr P asked us if we can help in attaching it to the wall but we haven't had an appropriate nail to use. He thanked for the help and we headed back home -- in good moods 😊!
