… a photo today, folks!
That’s because I did nothing of any importance – well, as far as visually goes.
This morning was a computer morning, even though I’m on winter hours. Someone has asked for a quote for a solar panel installation and I needed to track down some product. One thing led to another and I was all morning doing things like this.
Later on I managed to make my way outside.
First job was to reposition the planks to the correct working position. And then I spent a delightful few hours chiselling out the old mortar. It was only after that that I could start on the pointing.
But I didn’t get much of it done. Each time I was up the scaffolding with a bucket of mix the heavens opened. And by the time I was back down soaked to the skin and with an empty bucket and covered up the lean-to, the rain would stop.
And so I would start again and then so would the weather.
This kept on until about 16:00 when the heavens truly opened. By 22:00 we had had 25.5mm and it was still coming.
But the advantage of having plenty to do is that I could go and work indoors. I’ve now measured in the beam in the lean-to where I want the studding to go for the stair rails for the inside and I’ve cut the lets.
And so on Monday when I start back I can either start on the wind turbine, carry on with the pointing or finish off the stud walls and stair rails in the lean-to, if the weather will let me.
That wasn’t everything either. I’ll have to go to the UK soon as a client wants a huge load of electronic items that are only available from Radio Spares. Don’t like that idea very much, but there we are.
