Brock White Enclave
A big “Hi” from the Brock White enclave!
The team continues to deliver in a timely manner:
* We stamp 150 beige/silver insulation or “old dusty” as we have nicknamed it.
* We stamp blue insulation or the “easy-peezey” one as we have nicknamed it; because we can do a lot – it does not require cleaning like old dusty.
* When we sweep throughout the day, we use a sweeping company to help minimize the dust.
* On Fridays, we place our smocks in the green bag in the locker room for cleaning by Canadian Linen Company. We also do a general wipe-up of our tables.
* David Moir recently joined us for a full week to see how he likes the job. It went very well.
Bye bye for now
