Brickstory project to be unveiled

Community member Dave Clare was just one of the many locals to be involved in Brickstory. The official unveiling of the Brickstory project will take place this Thursday.

WA Country Builders and the City of Greater Geraldton teamed up to bring the community the Brickstory project and next week the unveiling of the anticipated Brickstory project will be announced. 

The Geraldton community is invited to a free event to celebrate the Brickstory project, find out what community project will be built, and see which lucky local is the winner of a brand new Toyota Corolla. The event will be held on Thursday, January 22 at the Queen’s Park Theatre at 5:30pm.

The project, which commenced last year, gave the community the opportunity to be a part of Geraldton’s history.

People signed up for their very own virtual brick and then had the opportunity to vote for one of four important community projects to be built in the community by WA Country Builders. 

The four options are 'Welcome to Geraldton' signs, shade shelters and seating at the Marina, upgrades to the Community Nursery and toilet blocks at Back Beach and Glendinning Park.

WA Country Builders will announce what the community has chosen to be the Brickstory project at the event on Thursday. 

Also as part of getting your virtual brick, people were sent an I ♥ GERO bumper sticker and by displaying it on their vehicle, they are in the draw to win a brand new Toyota Corolla which will also be drawn at the event. 

WA Country Builders Mid West General Manager, Phil Raven, said the project was about giving back to the community.

“WA Country Builders have been in Geraldton for 20 years and we wanted to give something back to the community, so we are going to build a structure that is voted by locals and acknowledges the town that has supported us for the past two decades,” he said.

Mayor Ian Carpenter praised WA Country Builders for a fantastic initiative which would provide a positive outcome for the community.

“We are so very happy to be involved with such an amazing local project which is giving something straight back to the community,” he said.

“WA Country Builders are the definition of a true local business and on behalf of Geraldton we want to thank them for this addition to our community.”

If you would like to be involved in the unveiling of the Brickstory project, RSVP your attendance to geraldton@brickstory.com.au

So you want a nice timber floor…

Perhaps you have a timber floor and want it looking great again. 

Or maybe you’ve been daunted by the process of getting and installing a timber floor, but you’ve always wanted one. 

We spoke with JB Timber Flooring about installing and caring for a timber floor. 

Everything Geraldton - Where do people start if they want a timber floor?

JB - A lot of people want a timber floor, but they just know if they want a "dark” or a “light"timber. People can be assured that our 15+ years of experience will ensure that we can take into account their needs, budget  and their lifestyle and make sure they get a floor that will look great and last for years to come. There are different densities or hardness of timbers and that is just one thing to consider when choosing your floor.

We can assist with the supply of wood, the installation, and sanding and polishing. In fact if you contact us, you will be dealing with the expert tradesman from initial decisions through to the finished product.

We can also do a free measure and formal quote so you know exactly what to expect.

Everything Geraldton - If people have an existing floor, what can they do to get it looking great?

JB - Sanding and polishing. We do a lot of sanding and polishing in Geraldton. It will make it look brand new as it removes scratches. Then we reapply new polish which protects the timber for years to come.

There are different types of polish and finishes available - High Gloss, Semi Gloss and Satin finishes, in a solvent or water based polish.

Everything Geraldton - Have you got any tips for caring for timber floors?

JB - Keeping water off it is a big one. A lot of people use water to wash their floors.

It’s best to use a damp cloth to spot clean and use limited water on a mop.

Always use felt protection on the bottom of furniture to reduce scratches. 

And never use any chemical cleaning products.
