Next Episode: 160 - Renovation Project Management With Ruth Newman

We put out the call to see who would be interested in contributing and getting involved in a renovation that we paid for in cash. Out of twenty applicants we ended up with a team of fourteen wonderful, dedicated team members who all pulled their weight.

It was a project full of challenges - some due to the pandemic but others were simply examples of the things that can, and do, go wrong during a renovation project.

Three of our team members joined me to look back over the project to discuss the highs and lows, and everything they learnt working as part of a big team. Listen to my chat with James Burgin, Christine Boundy and Sheree Lamb.
