I&#8217;m going to go round and replace every single one of my &#8220;chocolate block&#8221; connectors), threaded them through a conduit and put a plug on the end. With a switch wired in for working the lights as well, I plugged the circuit in and there we are!<\/p>\n<p>But just looking at this image here, It&#8217;s hard to realise that just two years ago, there was almost nothing of that far wall, no flooring and no roof either. That lean-to has come a long way when you consider all of that.<\/p>\n<p>After lunch I measured up for the shelving unit that I&#8217;m going to build, and tracked down the <em>demi-chevrons<\/em> that I need for the uprights as well as a few laths for the horizontal shelf supports. The uprights were cut to the approximate size and the front uprights were cut and marked for the horizontals, but I didn&#8217;t have time to finish them. <\/p>\n<p>Firstly Marianne phoned me about tomorrow and then Rosemary rang for a natter. It&#8217;s always nice to talk to friends and I welcome every opportunity that there is, even if it does mean that I fall behind with my work. I wouldn&#8217;t want it any other way.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow I&#8217;m off to Clermont, on the bus would you believe? It&#8217;s Pionsat&#8217;s annual shopping day and I mustn&#8217;t miss it.    <\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-2653 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='2653' data-nonce='59a919cba4' 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-2653 lc'>+2<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-2653 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='2653' data-nonce='59a919cba4' 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-2653 unlc'>-4<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-2653 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No &#8211; we aren&#8217;t talking about Italian cars and washing powder here, it&#8217;s that we now have power and light upstais in the downhill lean-to.
