I woke up feeling grim. Sore throat is no worse, but no better either. I went back to bed after the crossword. That was a big mistake, because although I slept another 3 hours, I had a horrible dream.
I never used to dream. I can't remember dreaming since I was a kid. But I watched a Horizon program about dreaming a couple of months ago and since then I've been dreaming. Not every night, but fairly often. I do realise how ridiculous it sounds, but I assure you it is the case. I hate it.
Anyway, it meant I didn't see much of the morning, but when I did finally get going I took a car-load of stuff to the tip. Bags of clay and rubble we dug out of the soakaway and trench, plasterboard that was covering the windows until I put the glass in.
Then I filled in the trench. How Ray does this digging lark all day long is beyond me.
Then it was back to doing some trim, this time the door The framing is a bit out of true, but I was able to shim some of the door lining trim to make it much closer to vertical. With the trim in place and caulked, you'd never know there was anything wrong with it.
I need to remove the cladding from the sides and back of the building. There is a couple of metres of it on the sides, a bit less on the back. But the nails were not designed to be pulled out easily. I have removed one board and damaged it. I hope it does not mean that I have to scrap it all, I was hoping to re-use it for the rest of the front and the soffits. The one I did get off I was able to use for a bit more on the front, round the door, though.
It looks a bit scruffy really, some parts painted, some not. Some of the bits that are painted have got dirty since being painted. It's only one coat, so I need to do the whole lot again, anyway.
No more dreams, please.
