I built a framework on the floor, lined it with a plastic sheet, and then concreted it. This will be a slab that will be tiled and the woodstove will be placed on it. Once I take away the framework, the slab will be held in place by the laminate floor that I&#8217;ll be fitting.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve had to make the slab with a lot of stones so that it will knit closely together &#8211; after all, it&#8217;s only 2.5cms thick &#8211; but I made it too wet. There is nowhere for the water to drain away of course, with it being in a plastic sheet, so the water has floated to the surface and pockmarked it in places. But it&#8217;s not a problem as I&#8217;ll fill the pocks with tiling cement in due course.<br \/><br<a href=\"https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/0910061.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/0910061-300x204.jpg\" alt=\"fcpsh football club de foot pionsat st hilaire riom\" width=\"300\" height=\"204\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1732\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/0910061-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/0910061-624x425.jpg 624w, https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/0910061.jpg 806w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>>After the shopping we had the footy tonight. And GRRRRRRRRR again to Pionsat. The match against Le Quartier was cancelled so I had a wasted drive down there and back again. I drove down again for the match at 20:30, only to find that it had kicked off at 20:00. As I got out of Caliburn, Riom broke down the field and scored, and as I walked into the ground, Pionsat went up the other end and they scored. I had also missed a penalty, but Riom didn&#8217;t miss it, and they ran out winners 2-1.<\/p>\n<p>In other news &#8211; do you remember my footy photo from last weekend? It seems that the local newspaper, <span>La Montagne<\/span>, has published it. That&#8217;s a few of my photos the newspaper has used now. No money, of course (and I could do with some right now) but at least some of my work is getting an airing and they wouldn&#8217;t use them unless they thought something positive of them. And who knows where it might lead?<\/p>\n<p>And tomorrow I&#8217;ll be tiling the back wall behind the slab. That&#8217;s where I&#8217;ll be stacking the wood so tiles will enable it just to be wiped down to clean. That&#8217;s a better idea than wallpaper. And that&#8217;s a novel idea too &#8211; working on a Sunday.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-1093 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='1093' data-nonce='444bd46a5d' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/><span class='lc-1093 lc'>+2<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-1093 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='1093' data-nonce='444bd46a5d' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Unlike' \/><span class='unlc-1093 unlc'>-4<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-1093 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; from my usual habits, I did some work this morning.
