I am not coordinated enuff to operate a camera and work at same time, so just think of someone old and worn out at the end of the day.  |
Evening Bill.
Creating a new, fresh base line is a lot of work, but also needs to be done, despite the initial ugly it creates.
Respect and sympathy to you as well for the work you clearly are putting in.
So in the spirit of randomness…..
I popped in at Sallys Unclebob the hoarder today to go look at a car I have an eye on.
No idea why really, just a whim.
While I was there, Bob who knows everything Sally does asked how the weekend went.
I told him, showed a few pics and mentioned some things that need building sooner than later.
Like a firewood and solid fuel store alongside the house and the play area in the loft for his daughter Elli.
So from old Cars we went out into the yard to a pile of wood and he said to select any of it that I thought Craig may need.
So I will go back before the weekend and select all the hardwood and pack it in the car.
Window sills and door thresholds.
Also in the deal were some “offcuts” of 6” by 1” thick planks, treated good quality.
Remember the loft conversion and Sally halfway up there?
Craig wants to build a permanent staircase up there from her bedroom with a door to close in when needed.
And guess what……..??
Uncle Bob had a 101 inch rescued wooden stair.
Now I just need to get it in or on the car…… and up to Craigs place.
In other news, Fil “Sparkplug” contacted me today to ask if we could use another set of hands as he did not want to miss out on the fun.
At 150 miles from Cambridge in the Yellow Submarine camper, he will be sleeping on Craigs driveway on Friday and straight out into the horse yard.
Thanks Fil.
