… that the scaffolding was back chez moi. Well, not only is it back but it’s now up at the barn – or at least most of it is.
This is what Terry and I have been spending most of the day doing. And it was hard work too. We haven’t quite finished but we’ll be erecting the bit down the short end and around the corner tomorrow and that’ll be one whole side of the barn covered.
It really is an impressive piece of kit and we can be well-pleased with our purchase. There are 8 bays of about 2.5m width and 6 metres high – about 120 square metres of the stuff.
Once my barn roof is done we will be hiring it out to all-comers and it will become another string to out income-generating bow. And I’ll be needing the income, bearing in mind how much I’ve spent on this house and barn this last 12 months.
Of course, today was the day that summer decided to return so we were erecting it in the sweltering heat. But we knocked off early as Terry wanted to go home and watch the footy. I dunno why though, as they didn’t come to see him when he was bad.
But Slovenia were unlucky not to equalise. If only they had played Scracanic and Sonofabic instead of Ivanic and Shagabic they might well have made Ingerlund suffer.
So tomorrow, once we’ve finished the erection, we can start on the stripping.
