12th February 2014 - Home n Garden

Good Morning Folks.

Today's plan is to spend most of the day in the workshop. 
But I also have pencilled in Looking at the mess outside the workshop. I need a plan tor try n tidy it all up...

the wood pile of fence slating has taken a hammer from the winds.
But the snakes n Butterfly's that I know live in here are safe...

This wood was nicely stacked few days back

Norton Commando - You must have been having some really high wind speeds. To have your lumber thrown around like twiggs like that. We are riding out a winter storm here of snow, sleet, and freezen rain. 30 MPH WINDS here in South Eastern Virginia.

 

 

Stephen Osborn - yes m8 yesterday between 80 - 100mph
Norton Commando - What a mess. It sounds like a Hurricane came thru there. That's incredable.
Stephen Osborn - wasn't a hurricane m8 - well if it was the weather people wern't letting on

 

and whilst its dry

gonna put some of the 3x2 wood in the workshop, as it will be useful and save me money as well.

And altho I am not the quickest person about these days, I start to see encouraging signs of improvement..

Ready for use, some is soaking wet, but some dry stuff as well

right lets get on with this small bench

I remove some of it, so i can get the shelf in easily

sanded down

and its screwed in place

I then rebuild the frame

ready to cut out the next shelf

mmm bit rough around the edges

that's better

Just as I am about to fit Strawbs is Knocking on the door

Norton Commando - Alright Strawb. You showed up right in time. I am glad you came by to Help Out My M8.

I get the shelf and brackets screwed in place. Just one more shelf to go but have run out of 2x1 for now

Strawb's is building part of the main bench shelving,

I put the temp board on the small bench, so as to have the heater on

Time to de-nail this bit of 2x2 I found in the workshop

The shelving framework

mmmm bit of a mess on this side of the bench,

in fact the whole workshop could do with a tidy up n clean,

but that can wait till later on

Its coming together , we now working on this together

considering non of this wood is straight, its coming out pretty good

We put the first 2 shelves in place, and deciding the best place for the strengthener piece

I find some more tubs

to make it easier the shelves only laid in place, they ready now to come out, be sanded and prepaired for painting.

We put up the last 2x2 roof baton, so I can carry on on my own.

the electrics tunnel over the workbench.

That's it for today, a good day all round, altho completely shattered,

so i think food bath then early night and back down there tomorrow.

Many thanks Strawb's for all your help today, Much appreciated
