So here I was today, 21:00 when I climbed down off the scaffolding.<\/p>\n<p>But then again I was in full flight painting the front of the house and I totally lost track of time. Mind you, it was so hot at 14:00 when I stopped for lunch that I ate inside the house and stayed here until 16:00 when it cooled down. 35.5 degrees in the shade, and off the scale (more than 40 degrees) in the direct sunlight.<\/p>\n<p>As well as having done more than half the painting, I fitted the fascia board and the guttering. Many people don&#8217;t agree with fascia boards when doing roofing (especially round here) on the grounds that they just collect the water, rot away and then drop off. <\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s exactly the point. If it wasn&#8217;t for the fascia board then the exposed ends of the rafters would collect the water, rot away and drop off and if anyone thinks that in 10 years time I&#8217;m taking all the roof off to replace the rafters then they have another think coming.<\/p>\n<p>We didn&#8217;t buy enough guttering &#8211; there&#8217;s about a metre short. And I also need two joining pieces. I won&#8217;t have time to go back to Montlucon to look for them on Saturday so I&#8217;ll have to see what St Eloy can offer.<\/p>\n<p>And in other news, having gone to the bank yesterday to give them a copy of Caliburn&#8217;s log book, I had a letter from the bank today reminding me that Caliburn&#8217;s temporary certificate has expired and if I don&#8217;t give them a copy of Caliburn&#8217;s log book by 15th August they&#8217;ll cancel the insurance.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-1168 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='1168' data-nonce='16ce856f7d' 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-1168 lc'>+4<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-1168 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='1168' data-nonce='16ce856f7d' 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-1168 unlc'>-5<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-1168 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My usual working hours here are from 09:30 to 1400 and 15:00 to 18:00 or 18:30.
