Thursday 18th June 2015 – I’M FED UP …

… with this weather.

It started off okay this morning but it clouded over slowly as the day progressed and by the time it was going dark it was teeming down with rain again. It’s really getting on my nerves. I recon that during the last week we’ve had more than 150mm (6 inches) of rain.

I had another morning spent on the computer dealing with these hardware issues that I’ve been having. I’m still nowhere near fixing them but I’m not ‘arf learning a lot on my way around.

enlarged holes in stud wall for pipework shower room les guis virlet puy de dome franceAs far as working on the house went, I’ve finished drilling and enlarging all of the holes for the pipework in the stud wall. There were a couple more holes that I had forgotten and so I drilled those too.

I then turned my attention to the worktop.

That has now been completely drilled out for the pipes. Then I measured all up for fitting the sink and the tap. All of the holes have been drilled for them now (and I spent some time trying to take off the holecutter from the spindle – that wasn’t easy either) and the top surface has now had the first coat of wood treatment. It looks quite nice, but it’s still too dark if you ask me.

Tomorrow first thing I’ll do the underside of the worktop and then towards the end of the day I’ll put the second coat on the top surface. In between times, I’ll have a go at attacking the door frame and see where that takes me.
