… after my lazy day yesterday, today it’s back to work.
And with a vengeance too.
This is the next stage of Project Collapsed Lean-to.
You can see the lean-to wall just there and how it’s leaning away from the house wall and also bulging out at the far end.
All of that needs to be pointed, and it isn’t easy because some of those stones are just hanging in there thanks to a wing and a prayer, and a few have already gone.
It’s not the easiest job that I’ve ever done, and I have to be careful because teasing out some of the rotten cement infill also tends to tease out some of the stones.
Anyway, I’ve cleared away some of the brambles and so on, and then painted the woodwork with the first coat. I’ve also pointed a few square metres of wall – starting from the top and working down so that I can make sure that it’s all properly sealed in before I pull the cement away from underneath.
Like I said – it isn’t easy and I reckon that it’s going to take me longer than anticipated – always provided that the wall doesn’t fall down on my head while I’m doing it or anything else stupid like that.
