6 - 9 September 2019
We are expecting our first toddler visit in a week, and are doing our best to pre-empt problems and remove hazards (of which there are many!). Lots of rubbish has to be taken out, and the old terrace top needed dismantling and barrowing to the bonfire site.
We are expecting our first toddler visit in a week, and are doing our best to pre-empt problems and remove hazards (of which there are many!). Lots of rubbish has to be taken out, and the old terrace top needed dismantling and barrowing to the bonfire site.
Dave does the careful unscrewing bit, then I broke up the remainder, which was too battered to release the screws.
This is one of our hazardous areas. A big heap of wood for the new terrace, the evicted workbench, looking for a new home, and some old tables that are heaven for Carpenter bees, and have to be made into bug housing.
Work continues on the structure of the raised terrace section. The crossways struts were unfortunately cut too short, without reference to the plan, so an extra strengthening section had to be built to hold the cantilever supports. It made it very much stronger in the end, but rather more work.
Dave treats the cut ends for extra protection, even though the wood is supposed to be fully weather- and bug-proofed.
