The shed continues....



26th October - 23 DAYS TO GO!

This is great, the first week is nearly out of the way and that was always going to be the most difficult. Life without him is lonely, but I'm getting on with it now and don't miss him nearly so much. Thank goodness. Funnily enough, I think this has a lot to do with chatting each day (on video cam too), it means a lot to me.

And on with the shed. Mum and I worked out how to put up the next set of panels, but she had to go early, so I got on with it. She did assume this was impossible and I must admit it wasn't easy balancing these huge pieces of hardboard across 2 pathetically small workmates (benches that is, not humans). So I kind of adopt a mad position holding the hardboard between my legs and using the jigsaw very gingerly. Actually, that's not really true. I didn't use the jigsaw gingerly, I bloody well went for it!!! It's quite exhilerating, hacking insanely through giant wobble boards. I can see why Kat loves his chainsaw so much.

So here is the result so far - I've done most of 2 walls. Every board needed downsizing and most of them needed bits cut out, which is the tricky bit. If they aren't quite right, fitting wise, I had to hack at them with the stanley knife - and it's really difficult cutting through hardboard.

Oh well. Tomorrow is teaching in the morning, then shed in the afternoon!

I think I will paint all the walls once they are done.
