So not a lot to show.
On Friday I did give the patchy soffit another coat of paint, it's not perfect but it is a lot better. I'm not giving it another one, it can stay like that. It's not bad.
Nothing over the weekend and today I've spent more time in the kitchen than I have in the workshop. I made a batch of Stokie Oatcakes. It was gone 4 o'clock before I finally managed to drag myself down there and all I've done is empty my shopvac and paint the window frames. I have various tins of paint in the house and I could have sworn I had a tin of white eggshell. But I can't find it. I've used a bit of a can I bought for the bathroom, but once I'd put it on I didn't like it, far too cold. Tori. It doesn't look great here, either, but at least it's being used up. At £50 a tin it is too expensive just to dump and I'm fed up of sinking money into this.
Ray's found me a length of worktop and a kitchen sink, so we are going over tomorrow to collect it. I've also found a length of worktop in my mum's garage. It must be 20 years old, but it still has the film on it. There is some water damage to it but mainly at the ends and it is long enough to cut them off and still be enough.
The garage roof has collapsed, so my bro and I are charged with the task of fixing it. It means removing what's left of the cement/asbestos-type corrugations and replacing them with corroline. But corroline requires more support than the meccano roof has, so we are going to cover it with OSB first. Which means that I will be able to get rid of a lot of the stack that is left over and taking up a lot of space in the corner.
