Morning Everyone :) :)
A day of remembrance and OF reflection of the good times we Had When Timothy was still with us :) :)
So I had decided I would spend as much of it as I could, pottering in Tim's Corner and try my best to get it nearer to completion.
Last year I finally got started on what is now known as Tim's corner
And then winter and other things got in the way
Little did I know just how much, this corner was going to mean to me - till today !
Nettles and a creeping weed makes access, somewhat difficult !
In fact the whole area is a real mess, but that's not for today
I am so mad at myself, for letting this area that means so much, get into this state!
But what can I expect, when all I do is Fight the Black Dog, Can't get thru teh door or just sleep the days away!
So out comes the Strimmer
And I take my Frustration out on the weeds
Now using a strimmer and a walking stick is not easy !
Norton Commando - I know what you mean about difficult. When I attempt to use one of those weed trimmers. I am worn out for hours after 10 minutes use
It took me over an hour to just get this little bit done.
But I do not care a jot...
Right The Arch, which caused me so much grief,
as it refuses to line up properly !
I know the dame thing is square because I measured each bit of Timber several times
Is has now moved, after being talked too with a 7lb rubber mallet and is finally now in line
But this panel still would not fit !!!
But once I cleared the creeping weed, I soon found out why
I had forgotten, that I had left and area around the edge,
which will become drainage run at some point !
So with a fair bit of persuading in goes an old brick
And then I notice the hole arch is on a slant !
and it should not be.....
But some patience and persuading I manage to get this edge into square with the slabs
Next job, was to find the shears and cut this lot back !
The nettle stems were too much for the strimmer so took me a while.
Also some of my metal draw cabinets are uncovered.
I will gather them all together soon and find out whats good and give them a thorough wash and put together what I can.
Most of these will be going into the attic for the model railway, some into the workshop as well
Right onto this side of the arch, once again, it needed a fair bit of persuasion
And it eventually comes into line
and its all done
I will next week add a few 1/2 periods on 2 or 3 days, so as I can keep up,
with what I have done, and slowly keep progress moving forward
