Hi
Good evening,

CCTV
The mast is up, just need cables and power to be run to it and then:
  1. fit the camera,
  2. test the whole thing
  3. and VOILA🔭🪜
KINDLING
We sold another 10 bags on Monday to a single customer. But we need to ensure we keep the bags' weights at least 2Kgs. Some of the bags we looked at were not quite full enough. Please use the weigh scales to ensure we don't sell ourselves (and our customers) short!!!

CURRIE PRIMARY SCHOOL NURSERY PLANTERS
We've been rained off a couple of times this week due to the storms, so the intention is to get the last planter across one day next week. In the meantime we need to move both halves back across to our side of the fence/hedge to allow the Scouts free access for their trailer.

BALERNO TIMBER VIEWING
Craig Macleod and myself are going to view some waste timber tomorrow afternoon to see if it's suitable for shed use.
