Wednesday 13th 43F/6C [6.45] Heavily overcast. With rain forecast all day. 68F/20C in the room. Heat pump on all night set to 16C on the remote. Greenhouse 51F/11C.
Up at 6am after an unusually quiet night. Aching shoulders from yesterday's heavy lifting.
I should have a run with the trailer to the recycling yard. To get rid of all the debris from removing the door and window. Plus the door packaging. Continuing work on the woodwork over the new doors could take place under the carport. There is little to do. I spent/wasted most of my time moving and setting up the heavy saws. I was also overthinking the job. Trying to saw a deep rebate instead of simply thinning larger material to match the spaces.
It was raining lightly as I enjoyed my usual walk along the drives on the back field. The robot mower has been moved to another, flatter area. I shall enjoy monitoring its progress in improving the sward. An interesting variation on watching other people work. Not quite as much fun as actually owning one but considerably cheaper!
13.00 The doors are finished. Though the carpenter still has to return to complete the caulking. I had to drag the saws out again. Working under the carport as the sky dripped. Backwards and forwards. Again and again. As I trimmed more off.
Lunch time but I have run out of bread rolls. I'll have toast and go shopping afterwards.
15.45 Returned from shopping. Where only my quick thinking saved me from an inadequate driver in the car park. They reversed without looking. The bread rolls were half price. So I bought two bags of each. The sun was piercing a black sky on the way home. Lifting the gorgeous countryside a couple of notches into truly magical.
Dinner was poached eggs on toast. Overdone.
