Tuesday 6th October 2009 – Just by way of a change …

tongue and groove attic ceiling… here’s a photo of the other side of the roof in the attic. You can see that I’m now advancing with the tongue-and-groove down that side too.

But it’s killing me, working in that confined space under the eaves. And working in that direction I’m having to work left-handed and upside-down so my back has gone and so have my knees.

I’m going to have another hour or so under there first thing tomorrow and then get on the scaffolding to do the upper half to give my knees and back a rest, and keep on alternating. About 2 or so more days of t&g-ing, and then I can make a start on the poncing.

Louise, whom some of you might remember from this blog in its previous incarnation, has now caught up with us (so hello again to you) and so has Dave – but he won’t be on line for a week or so as he’s now over here again. We had a good lengthy chat tonight on the phone and he’s going to be giving me a hand with the plumbing in the spring. And talking of the phone I had a lengthy chat this morning with Bill from the Anglo-French group.

In other news, Amazon is having a sale of classic rock CDs. Exciting news, you might think, but it’s all kinds of Pelvis Risley stuff and that sort of thing. Not so exciting. But one album I noticed on sale was “The Eagles Greatest Hits2 – surely a candidate for the title of the world’s smallest CD.
