…or rather a floorlift… and no it’s not spring yet. It’s actually snowing today.

However, we are getting an exciting new look!

One day last August, out of the blue, Jane and I noticed a heave of tiles at the back of the store. We covered it with a carpet and went on with our season.

Once the store closed, it became apparent that the tiles were no longer sticking to the cement slab in many parts of the store and that the whole floor would have to be replaced.

So I have been emptying out the store since Christmas and to-day Jason and Rob from Royson’s Flooring arrived to begin the task of taking up the old tiles and preparing the floor for its “lift”.

Stay tuned for more in-progress photos!

Old floor which had heaved

And the work begins by taking up the old tile. By hand and with the jackhammer!
