being constructive




 


There are now six panels with all the offending nails except one large one that I couldn't shift, removed, loose upright slats nailed tight and missing slats nailed on..

The next step with this job is to get a quote from the fencing company. I have the gates and hinges and possibly enough posts...but they can tell me what else I need.

Today has been a bit frustrating..trying to work out the vest way forward with the kiln and how to phrase what I need to say.

The Oily One has a gauge that might be the right one, so he will post that...when he can find it (!). Meanwhile things must be cleaned and glazing done.  Not a job for a rainy day. I was lucky to have enough dry for doing the fence panels. 

Other than that I've done a little mending before clothes were kept in the drawers. Mended my favourite bag.

Moved the trays of bisqued pots and stacked them on the sideboard, clearing the table for a much needed card printing session. It was easier and less work to do that than to organise the study upstairs!!

So now everything is ready for that, the kitchen is tidyish and the dishes washed.

French practice ...then bedtime and hopefully enough sleep before a fresh start!!

I see you found your claw hammer, or did you borrow one?
You certainly got a heap of work done.
I love seeing all your arts. Especially those little cards.

That fence is going to look very smart when you have it in place. Hope that the guage you need for the kiln is the one your son is sending you (eventually).

I get all T & G's mending. They don't have time (T), won't even sew a button on (G).

Neither... I bought a lighter one, so when the other eventually turns up I will have a choice!

The fence looks outstanding. Very nice job GZ.
Hopefully the gauge your son provides meets your needs.
