stuff you're doing while at home

today we got all the roof framing done, both door frames made and the personal door fitted. the garage door came with the gubbins still attached to the header of the old frame with the springs still tensioned. it would've been rude not to reuse it as is with just new uprights, so we did which simplified that a lot. we added membrane and battens to the front and got most if it clad. i fell off the ladder while we were framing the front while still holding a section of the frame, not good and boy i'm paying for that now. had to sit down for a while 'til i could see clear again but a nice cuppa tea and biccies from mum over the road (i live next door) and more tea later from my sister (lives next door to my new shed and is supplying electricity for the project) was very welcome. dawn was blissfully unaware 'til we packed up for the day at 5ish and i got home moaning about my aches and bumps (not much new there). i said to jon ''we're too old to be falling off of ladders these days'' which he agreed with. i didn't go back over to take pics so i'll get some in the morning before we crack on with cladding the roof.
neil.
