Hi Folks... Am on my own today so things will be a fair bit slower

 

As not got Lynne here to keep me focused.
She is away till Saturday with Emma (daughter) and Timmy (1st grand child), 
So the rest of this week I will try and do as much as I can, without getting to upset or down with the lack of progress.

I have struggled all day to get thru the house door, Finally achieving it just after 5pm.
Why is it so hard when I am on my own ?

 

Postman has delivered the new alternator belt.

 

Nothing wrong with my old one, but as it has to come off, it may as well be changed.

Door Ball Catch 2 Pack Ball Door Catches for Internal Doors Adjustable Brass Roller Ball Door Catch with 8 Screws Spring Ball Bearing Door Catch.

Not sure if I will use both on the bathroom door.


We will make our mind up later on, when the door is finished,

Merriway® BH00060 (2 Pcs) Hotbed D Handle, 150 mm (6 inch) 

 

These handles are for the bathroom door. 

not yet ready to fit them, but they are here now ready, for when we are.

Finally have managed to get out the house to teh transit.

The first job is to put the new battery on charge

We did not take much juice out of the new battery as I thought.

But will leave in on trickle charge over night.

Next job, is to get this board screwed to the transit side frames.

But not along the top at this stage.

The side by the bed, I could only get about 3 screws from the top.


But as more space becomes available, I will finish it off.

Back onto teh table/fridge/freezer cupboard.

This leg It is not sitting quite square, so have marked off a chunk to be sanded away.

Not exactly pretty but with my shaking hands, I can not control the finger sander properly......

Now the leg is square and has been screwed into the side doors frame.

and the table frame is screwed to the the bed rails.

Making the structure nice n solid.

Hopefully tomorrow will see the frame completed.

And when Lynne comes back, we will dismantle it and give it a good sanding and then some white paint.

That is it today, with my shaking hands and in the end had the shakes all over and had an accident.

I have decided to call it a day.
