I recently started working on the maintenance team for Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Trust. I'm really enjoying it and making some great friends and learning lots of new things. My background is carpentry but this role requires me to know the basics of maintenance across the board.
Yesterday I was tasked to paint a wall where I removed a fire extinguisher and sign. The challenge was I had the wrong shade of paint (too light) so I called my workmate and he suggested adding some black. Being in the art psychotherapy room they had red, blue, green, yellow, black and white. So of course I did my best to match the existing wall and had great fun!
If you need help with any carpentry or handy man tasks I'm still available on evenings and weekends for small projects so please get in touch.
