Afternoon folks
Well had a good day and finished off the little bits on the roof to the summer kitchen, still need a few more screws for the ridge caps but its secure and watertight so good enough for now.
So we have been evaluating lots of little jobs over the last few weeks and it seems a mini digger is on the cards. fing is they don't like hiring just the diggers here, and with the nature of the jobs a couple of hrs each but not all in 1 go, so is not cheap. SOooooo we are looking to buy a new toy going to look at 1 tomorrow plan is then we can use at our leisure for a couple of years, then resell we the guy that is helpiing has said he will buy it in a couple of years as he does groundwork so we may even get some rental from him during that time.
So excited new toy.

.... I have cut all my window-cills/sills to size and to fit in the mini-barn.
I will take them off one by one and fit them on top of battens to the underlying brickwork over the weekend.
The underlying building is not square to the rear of the house(!) so I have adopted a "Do your best and caulk/gapfill the rest" approach.
At the end of the day the mini-Barn is a glorified "Shed" on the back of the house not the Sistine chapel.

It got hit by an optical illusion.
The profile of the board makes it look like they are out of alignment.

Personally, I would stroll there and meander / dawdle back
Course, a brisk walk will give you a thirst..

Walk slowly, memorise all the details to aid you in getting home again.

Depends if you are going the long way and how thirsty you are I suppose

I'm off to the pub to help them stay in business.
I've decided that I'll stroll leisurely as it's such a nice evening.
