Good morning everyone, day off again today. Finished off the fence yesterday, was 1 featheredge plank short and for some reason I have a gap by a post. Not sure how that happened, so pop into Wickes tomorrow. Mrs MLC is off furlough but working from home today but no doubt you've heard the news of redundancies. Not good news. But we'll find out in the fullness of time.

It’s an age thing I think. I certainly am suffering from it, either that or members are just so eager to see Watties posts they set their alarm clock
Morning, certainly hot isn’t it. Took the Strad out on Monday, still love it, still epic!

It's a lovely park and security is very light.

Morning, early birds. Not me. I'm enjoying sleeping in a bit. Sunny day and a diary jam-packed with fecking Zoom calls. 7.5 ******* hours of the buggers scheduled. Task 1 today: see which ones I can cancel, skip, shorten, or do from the garden. Or the toilet. Age may be waking some of you up early, but there's no standing in the way of nature when the Bran Flakes kick in.

Ours restarted 2 weeks ago , but last week they forgot me
, borrowed next doors bin this week ( as they are lazy feckers gardening wise ) so 2 bins for me this week, today i will mostly be fitting 3 new door lining sets up stairs and hanging 3 solid oak doors plus the oak achitraving , happy days , weird being back on the tools , glad i never sold them all now as i will probably be doing a complete house refurb once we move ..........................that will be definitely be the last one having moved 11 times in 20 years , i'd promised myself that several times

Ours started this week! Yay.....
The missus has advised me that there is no excuse not to cut the grass (at the front, the back is just mud) now.

Morning all. A bit of work this morning, setting up a conference call with some Spanish chaps about a big solar farm out there.
The only problem is, the only Spanish I know is how to order two beers!
Hopefully they can speak English.....

Ours has been transformational. The quantity of bits of tree, bushes, grass and other assorted garden stuff that I can ram into those big brown bins is ace. So much better than taking it to the dump. Especially as the dump's still closed.

That';; be a good job when done, do you have mitre saw, chisels etc?
Unfortunately, I do not have the space for many tools. Using a smallcupboard under the stairs that I have "tetris-style" packed with tools.
I am a little chuffed. Whilst on conference calls this morning (where all I had to do was listen), I managed to fix our sagging front door, re-position the front door lock, and re-position the lock on the loo as well.
Particularly happy with my use of a Car Scissor Jack(!) to prop-up the end of front door to right it back to its proper position!!
