I had the usual issues of working hard but making not much progress.<\/p>\n<p>It took all morning to hang the two doors that I had made yesterday. Mind you, I spent some of the time having a good search around looking to see if I had any hinges lying around anywhere. I eventually found three in the barn. I must have bought those for some long-forgotten project, but they weren&#8217;t much good as they were left-hand hinges and too big in any case.<\/p>\n<p>However I did find half a hinge in the house and this made a pair (or at least it will do when I find the other half) with a hinge that I had already, so I could at least do that. It also means that I don&#8217;t have to go on a shopping expedition to Montlucon on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1503\/1503003.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1503\/1503003.jpg\" alt=\"final door for wardrobe bedroom les guis virlet puy de dome france\" width=\"300\" height=\"204\"\/><\/a>After lunch, I made the final door and for a change, I had a play with the cheap chop-saw that I bought agesa couple of years ago in the sales at Cheze in St Eloy-les-Mines. This did an excellent job, although it needs two cuts to cut the width of a floorboard (which is annoying) but never mind. I&#8217;ll be doing the floorboards with this.<\/p>\n<p>While I was on my travels around, I tried to see if I could find the Ryobi portable router that I bought in the USA in 2012 but I&#8217;ve no idea where that might be. Not a trace.<\/p>\n<p>The final door needed trimming down but once I&#8217;d done that it was quite a good fit and it&#8217;s all come out quite well.<\/p>\n<p>all of the doors need trimming off of course, so I measured everything up ready to cut them down tomorrow. That ook me nicely up to 18:30 when I called it a day<\/p>\n<p>During the night I was on my travels again, back in Crewe. We were living back in Davenport Avenue and there was quite a crowd of us there. We all had cars and the place was totally cluttered up with vehicles. Anyway, I went on the bus up Gresty Road and South Street and the bus turned right into Nantwich Road, towards the station. I realised that I should have alighted at the corner so I urgently rang the bell. The driver went to stop but of course there&#8217;s nowhere along there to stop (the bus was clearly driving on the right-hand side of the road) so the driver said that he would swing round into Pedley Street and come back round into Nantwich Road to drop me off. I told him not to bother as I was going to Pedley Street anyway, so I alighted then and there and went to a house where I cooked my pizza and chips. I somehow managed to burn my chips although my pizza wasn&#8217;t anything like nearly cooked. So I abandoned my tea that and went outside where I bumped into my friend Mandy, and we had quite a chat about the good old days.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-3969 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='3969' data-nonce='6b9557f122' 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-3969 lc'>+2<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-3969 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='3969' data-nonce='6b9557f122' 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-3969 unlc'>-1<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-3969 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; to complete as much as I intended to do on the wardrobe today.
