GORDALE NURSERIES LIMITED’s Post

As we’re in the run up to Halloween, we’ve decided to do something a little different today…. We’re sharing something a little spooky about elevators – and it’s all linked to a superstition. Here’s a clue…. it’s all about triskaidekaphobia! But, before we explain, we have a question: Have you ever noticed how some buildings - and therefore elevators and lifts - seem to skip the 13th floor? Well, you’re not imagining it!....... Due to the fear and long-held superstition surrounding the number 13 – or triskaidekaphobia as it’s also known – some buildings do avoid using the number 13. Instead they opt for alternatives like 12A and some even rebrand the 13th floor as floor M, given that M is the 13th letter of the alphabet. While it’s more commonly associated with the US, it's not unheard of in the UK, especially in hotels, office buildings, and high-rises, as many developers choose to omit having 13th floors to avoid unsettling potential tenants, or guests, who might consider it to be unlucky. Although it’s not a building code requirement here in the UK, it’s a nod to customer comfort and psychology. You can find out more about this superstitious topic from the BBC here: https://lnkd.in/eg9_xDrA. So, next time, you’re in an elevator, take a peek—does it have a 13th floor? And if it doesn’t, then what’s in its place instead? Have you spotted a missing 13th floor before? If so where?

Road Work Ahead! Those signs aren’t just for decoration. So, when you see one, slow down, keep your eyes on the road, and maybe give the crews a friendly wave as you pass (carefully) by. It may cost you a few extra seconds, but at least it won’t cost someone their life. #WorkZoneAwarenessWeek #WorkZoneAwareness #RoadWorkAhead #UtilityWorkAhead #SlowDownSaveLives

Years ago, I traveled to Panama City for a project: gilding a store’s ceiling with gold leaf. 💫 During a break, my colleague and I went on a mission to find a washroom. The building was still under construction, so most doors were locked. Finally, success! Or so we thought… the washroom was for kids! Imagine me, a grown adult, hunched over a tiny sink. I felt like a giant in a fairy tale. 😆 ✨ This unexpected moment reminded me of a simple truth: life rarely goes as planned. You picture one thing and end up with something entirely different — but it still serves the same purpose. What matters is how we adjust, adapt, and find solutions. Does your home or space ever feel like one of those unexpected challenges? You’re not alone — many others feel the same way. 🙋♀️ Whether it’s for a client, a tenant or a family member, I’m here to help transform any space. From organizing a home to re-designing a room, together we can turn the unexpected into something extraordinary. 💡✨ #OrganizedLiving #ProfessionalOrganizer #DeclutterYourSpace #SpaceTransformation #LoveWhatYouDoDoWhatYouLove
