A lot of patience & sleepless nights played their part here,
wasn't epic but was well worth the effort.
The nurses home is owned by Leeds hospitals nhs trust, adjacent to Leeds general infirmary.

Nice one getting it done. Patience is key sometimes. Nice wood & metal work on stairs, and great tiling in the service tunnels. Fab peel in corridor. Well worth the wait :thumb
