<\/a>Most of the studding is now done and it was a realistic expectation to put some of the plasterboard onto the walls, but we had a slight logistics problem about that. If I were to do the walls, I wouldn’t be able to get the wiring for the lights into the correct position – that needs to be done first. And so I spent all afternoon wiring. And that also involved putting some of the studding onto the ceiling in between the beams so that I can fasten the conduit in position.\n

And so all in all, there wasn’t much visual progress even though a lot of work was done.<\/p>\n
At about 17:30 it was too dark to work in the bedroom and so I went outside and did a little clearing of where the new raised beds are going to be. And at 18:05 when I knocked off, it was just about possible to see what it was that I had been doing. The nights are getting shorter whereas my vegetable garden is getting bigger.The heap of wood in the lean-to is getting smaller too and I can actually see the concrete floor in places. A really good fire of garden rubbish to get rid of all kinds of stuff including the kindling in the lean-to that I am never going to use – that will be something to aim for in March when the weather improves.<\/p>\n
But the weather today was good. This morning was bright and sunny with a cloudy and windy afternoon. The batteries in the barn are fully-charged and in the house we managed to get onto “float” mode – where the batteries equalise themselves. So it’s not far short of fully-charged here either. These last 3 days of good weather have done wonders for my charging system.<\/p>\n
In fact, all in all, I was mostly in a good mood today with the way things ae panning out here. But sorting out my … gulp … 2400 photos of Canada is filling me full of nostalgia and I’m wishing I was back there.<\/p>\n
