John Hayward - 1 question Mr C have you been listening to "White Room" all u need now is a pair of black curtains

 
 

Stephen Osborn - funny you should say that - Click on the audio link above :) :) 

Right an early start today, as hoping to have another good day down here,

1st fob is to cut in screw framework for middle shelf.

Testing this box fits a treat

Right need to get at stuff underneath this lot,

that I have sold, so starts a bit of a tidy up

I move the batons over to the other side of the workshop

and the 2x2 batons

Right now I can start to go thru this lot and tidy it up.

I nip out and pick up Strawbs, who has kindly offered to come over n give me a hand.

On the way back I stop of and get some bits n stuff that I need,

including this baton, which edges the door nicely

And not only gets rid of the daylight along this edge of the door, but stops the draft as well

Box of kindling for Jan

Workbench all clear for once

Even the floors looking cleaner

Still loads to sort thru and find homes for tho

Our Honda Big One is buried still

Right time to finish insulating and panelling around the bench

But decide against doing the side for now

In goes the insulation

and we soon have the hardboard cut and in place

and soon screwed into place
Looks a lot better now ready for painting

Next it's Time to panel the lower door

that looks better and now ready to paint

All the bits I have sorted thru are now in here in boxes

this side is empty apart from the cbr1000f mudguard.

We come across some 1" thick chipboard

and its soon marked up and cut to fit
just need router bits to round the edges off and some hinges, but its very comfortable

Next we decide to clear the side door, that was blocked off

and remove the wood from the side of the bench.

yep that's a big hole and its night time!

the double glazed door frame We hope to use.

We measure up several times and discuss several ideas.

Eventually we come up with a plan,

its gonna be a lot of work and not easy,

but I decide to go ahead as the advantages out way the disadvantages

That's it for today,

its been a great day,

lots of banter which is always nice to have with a great friend.

All being well we will be back down there tomorrow to try and fit the door as well as strengthen the workshop,

cut n move posts and roof beams
