It clouded over at about 18:00 this evening and by 20:00 it was p155ing down outside. So that’s that then.<\/p>\n

But I have made enough progress today, so that it doesn’t matter too much.<\/p>\n

First job was to sand off the second layer of filler on the wall. That didn’t take too long to do, and it doesn’t look too bad, although I would rather have been able to take off all of the plasterboard and start again. Anyay, it’s ready to paper and paint, whenever I’m going to be doing that – which won’t be for a while yet. <\/p>\n

Next job was to move everything around in the bedroom so that the working space is next to where the wardrobe is. And hen I’d done that, I emptied the wardrobe. That was a horrible job and I hated every moment of it. I’ve found quite a bit of stuff that I had “lost”, as well as another hundredeight of screws and nails, but none of that compensates for the rubbish that I pulled out of the wardrobe area. There was even stuff in that corner that came from off the old roof when we ripped that out in 2009.<\/p>\n

I can see a great big issue now in that I don’t have enough space left to store all of the stuff that I’ll be taking out of the bedroom when I need to empty it <\/p>\n

There was still an hour left before lunch so I made a start on crepi-ing the OSB alls of the wardrobe. I worked up a good rhythm in there and I as doing so well that I ran a good half-hour past my normal knocking-off time and I didn’t care either.<\/p>\n

\"crepi<\/a>Afterlunch I cracked on with the crepi-ing and at 18:30 (another long day) I’d finished it all.<\/p>\n

You can’t really see what it looks like because it as dark by the time I took the photo, but it’s come out quite nicely and I’m impressed. On Monday I can even fit the shelving, which will be progress indeed.<\/p>\n

I had a nice hot wash in the water out of the home-made 12-volt immersion heater and then another load of the potato and lentil curry.<\/p>\n

Now I’m all set up for the weekend – I’m off to Montlucon tomorrow.<\/p>\n
