No – we aren’t talking about Italian cars and washing powder here, it’s that we now have power and light upstais in the downhill lean-to.
I was fed up of trailing cables all over the place, which is what I’ve been having to do for the last couple of days, and so bearing in mind that I did some wiring in there a while ago and that I also drilled a hole through the wall into the house last year, I hunted down a cheap American extension and fed it through the hole.
I then collected all of the loose wires, joined them together ( and these French cable connectors are the bees’ knees that’s for sure. I’m going to go round and replace every single one of my “chocolate block” connectors), threaded them through a conduit and put a plug on the end. With a switch wired in for working the lights as well, I plugged the circuit in and there we are!
But just looking at this image here, It’s hard to realise that just two years ago, there was almost nothing of that far wall, no flooring and no roof either. That lean-to has come a long way when you consider all of that.
After lunch I measured up for the shelving unit that I’m going to build, and tracked down the demi-chevrons that I need for the uprights as well as a few laths for the horizontal shelf supports. The uprights were cut to the approximate size and the front uprights were cut and marked for the horizontals, but I didn’t have time to finish them.
Firstly Marianne phoned me about tomorrow and then Rosemary rang for a natter. It’s always nice to talk to friends and I welcome every opportunity that there is, even if it does mean that I fall behind with my work. I wouldn’t want it any other way.
Tomorrow I’m off to Clermont, on the bus would you believe? It’s Pionsat’s annual shopping day and I mustn’t miss it.
That surely is a leaning, lean-to.
