14th September 2019 - Timothy's Corner Update.

Published on 30 October 2022 at 06:24

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
