… does you no good at all if you roll over onto your staples at 04:00. It’s flaming painful and you can’t go back to sleep again.<\/p>\n
And so I was up early again and breakfasted, and then I went out to cut more wood. That’s a couple more of the old chevrons and the tree trunks from 2 years ago all ready to burn in my nice new wood stove, with which I am almost as impressed as I am with my galvanised steel dustbin. <\/p>\n
But then I had another idea and I cleared a space near the big front gates and laid out a couple of pallets. And then I moved one of the wood piles – the one that was at the side of the lean-to. That’s now on the pallets right at the front of the house and will be easy to get to in the winter, whenever that might be.<\/p>\n
That pile of wood was formerly at the side of the lean-to on a concrete pad that was formerly the base of a chicken coop. This concrete hardstanding is now covered with plastic roof tiles – I did a safari around the garden and hunted down all that I can find ready for doing that roof, whenever that might be. <\/p>\n
I also took out the plywood from the back of Caliburn and I’ve stood that upon the concrete pad. Even though it’s for exterior use, I’ve covered it up with a tarpaulin to protect it for a while from the weather.<\/p>\n
All that’s left in Caliburn is the window and that’s rather heavy. But I have a cunning plan for that, more of which anon<\/em>.<\/p>\n When it went dark I fetched a shelving unit that I had forgotten and I have put it in what will be the bathroom. I’ve started making a tour of the upper floors rescuing tools and so on, so that I know where everything might be. <\/p>\n But that’s not so easy as there’s just so much stuff. I really ought to have a good tidy up sometime.<\/p>\n
