Week 346 – Over There, in the Virtual Distance…

by | Jan 22, 2018 | Weeknotes | 0 comments

Each week we’ll endeavour to publish some details of the interesting things that members of DoES Liverpool have been up to over the past seven days. You can find out a bit more about them in our introductory post.

And remember, if you’re involved with DoES Liverpool at all, let us know what you get up to so we can include it here!

The Big Move

With our move to the Tapestry looming, we’re including a brief update on how things are going each week.

John and Zarino are still chasing down quotes for building the walls to separate off the workshop, meeting rooms, etc. We’ve had a price in for our walls from one contractor but trying to see if we can reduce it as it’s currently very high.

They were also working over the weekend to take some contractors around the space and try to get more quotes in.

And there have been long discussions over the toilet doors (details over differing floor levels in that area). There’s a site visit again today. Still to be determined, although we’re pretty sure this won’t be the final layout… 😉

There are lots of things to do, both with the move and in preparation for the move. If you want to help out, check the DoES Move label on the Somebody Should issue list, or get in touch.
