… finish the stair tread that I started last night, I’ve fitted a couple of risers and fitted the battens for a third one.
First job, though, was to re-route a couple more electrical cables and the telephone cable that were in the way, and that wasn’t a job of five minutes either. They were one of the first cables that I fitted and so, as you would expect, in the following 4 years all kinds of cables have been threaded in over the top of them.
But with the new treads, and the risers in at the top two stairs now, they are about 100 times stiffer than they were before when I just had scrap off-cuts of wood as treads, and no risers at all. It’s all looking quite good and I can’t wait to restart work on Monday, and I bet it’s been a good few years since I said anything like that.
But I shan’t be doing too much on Monday as someone is coming to view Cécile’s house in the late afternoon. And on Tuesday I’m taking a pile of stuff to Montlucon for the sale room there (nothing of mine, of course. I don’t have anything worth selling) so it’s going to be something of a short week.
