We set to work, gathered a heap of tools from Stephan’s van and in not much over an hour we had the job done. Actually I say ‘we’ but really it was almost all Stephan’s activity. I held things and made a few decisions but with his knowledge of his own tools it was in fact him who did most of the work.
As I mentioned yesterday, the most difficult aspect of the job was to get the levels correct and to attach the piece of wood to the wall, as pictured below. We had just finished fixing the wood, both to the shed and the wall, when the rain came down. Lucky. So we had a cup of tea and a long chat about the problems that life brings us and then Stephan went home. The rest of job I can do myself, finishing the roof on the other side of the shed (which you can’t see in this photo), putting the boards on the roof, and then laying the felt to keep the whole thing waterproof. I would have cracked on and made at least a start on this this afternoon but the drizzle persisted and I decided to take all the rubbish up to the dump (even more necessary today as now there is nowhere dry to store it and I don’t want all those wet bags in the car).
