As J-P is coming over on Tuesday, I've got to have the area ready for him and although it doesn't seem as though I've done much today, looking at the photos quite a lot has changed! I started by cutting the 3 beams that are going up in the roof on the otherside to what I've done already.
Rusty supervised me!
Cutting them was made easier because I used the circular saw, then just had to cut the last centimetre or so with a saw. One of the beams is fully installed, one is in approximately the right place, but not fixed as I can't get to it, and the last one is just lodged up there to keep it out the way - at least I can't trip over them now.
Rusty had to have a rest then - all that hard work!
The 2 shelving units I only recently moved from in front of Dad's shelves need to be moved again - some of that wall will be coming down. As I had already sorted things out this was straight forward and everything was moved outside quite quickly - Rusty had to go back into his cage for this, although he sticks closely to me inside, he might be very distracted outside. I then continued to move boxes and crates from my old Victorian cupboard too. Some stuff went outside, other stuff had to be added to the large pile in the front of the garage - I even managed to get Dad's lathe to the front, and found that the mains cable had totally disintegrated: it'll have to be replaced before I start playing with it.
Only half a day tomorrow - if its nice I'll be finishing the chicken wire. Yesterday, on ebay, I found some Red Dorking hatching eggs, I emailed the vendor, and she says she regularly has eggs AND her birds are show birds, I've told her I've got to get a couple of broody hens 1st, but then I'll be back in touch.
