Wonder where he/they're based?

No guards on the grinders was the first thing I noticed ......I blame @Parm for that

That's a refurbishment. It has been redecorated...

IMO, refurbishment would require more than a restoration.

LOL. Well I don't really mind, actually I'm wishing I hadn't started it tbh. Anyhow, in my mind a restoration is a process which involves an element of repair in order to return an item as closely as possible to it's original condition. A refurbishment is more specifically regarding a cosmetic makeover and less about making any repairs.

I should have stuck with "redecorate" which is closer to what happened here...

I tend to class them the other way round. Going by definition, refurbishment is more geared towards returning to original. Restoration is more just working functionality upwards. The two words/terms are interpreted differently by everyone though.
