The horizontals I made out of the left-over demi-chevrons from the roof &#8211; those that I bought from the sawmill &#8211; but the Brico Depot demi-chevrons I was using for the uprights &#8211; they just split and collapsed. It&#8217;s the sawmill in future for me for my wood.<\/p>\n<p>Much of the wardrobe is done but I ran out of light and so I went into the barn and carried on tidying up the wood that used to be the laths off the barn roof. The long bits or those with decent ends I&#8217;m saving at the moment but there are also tons of short bits or broken-off bits. I moved a few bucket-loads of those down to the lean-to where I&#8217;m keeping the wood that I&#8217;m burning. I&#8217;ll cut those up tomorrow morning and add them to the pile.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, tomorrow. I can&#8217;t see me going anywhere tomorrow. I&#8217;m properly snowed in here and there&#8217;s no sign of a snow plough. \u00a0<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-671 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='671' data-nonce='28e17601b5' 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-671 lc'>+2<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-671 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='671' data-nonce='28e17601b5' 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-671 unlc'>-1<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-671 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I woke up to find snow everywhere &#8211; a good 6 inches must have fallen through the night and the temperature stayed below zero all day.
