Well, fence-y that!
10 GoodGymers made their way to help the Greenhouse Project in Liverpool.

On a surprisingly sunny Thursday evening, 10 GoodGymers returned to the Greenhouse Project for the first time since lockdown.
Meeting outside, we reminisced about our many previous missions at this great children's centre, favourites being the Christmas present wrapping and setting the tree stumps in the garden.
Before the task, Debbie from the Greenhouse Project had meticulously worked out that it would take someone 10 minutes to paint a 1m fence panel so with 50 panels in total, it should take 10 of us just under an hour. On arrival, we looked at the fence and thought "Nah, we could do that in 10 minutes!".
How wrong we were! The first sign that it wouldn't be as quick as we assumed was when the sage green paint flubbered onto the trays. The paint went onto the fence easily enough but also into the fence itself, and we realised that it really needs another coat.
In the end we managed to paint the whole fence (and the door - thanks Mat), but not quite the second coat so check out the listings for when we'll be back to finish the job.
