Things take time, and repairing my shed at our mountain cottage
was no exception. It has been more than two weeks...
First thing I did was to get all of the things out
into the open, removing roofing materials, and generally
getting rid of unrequired upper structures.
Only then I could introduce my ladder into the shed
and do further work. This is a very large shed, measuring
1.8 m deep by 2.7 m across.
What is seen below is part of the shed, seen aross the deck to the
left of the main house (behind the pillar), to which will be built a new annex, once all those tall pine trees are removed next month
I had two main objectives this time, one was the reparing of
the shed, and the other was something I had talked about
some time ago, and that is the outer most doors and
how to secure them to the main frames. As it turned out
this was an easy job. All I did was to make holes in the
door frames and drop pins into them.
Above?, although the whole task was gruelling to say the
least, there were moments of taking it easy. These nuts,
grown in the garden, were delights.
It was my daily task to remove spiky externals when I was rewinding myself on the deck from the day's work, with a minimum of means. While doing it I noticed something...
That is, they seem to come in, mostly in doublets, as you
see above, sometimes even in triplets. Quite how, I
do not know. Generally though, ripe singlets tend to
reveal ripe fruits...
Above is only part of my achievement and in the end
I ended up with more than 5kg of these nuts.
What is below is the shed very nearly completed. In stead of
its original sliding doors I made a new arrangement,
using lots of 2x4 connectors, as you see.
The shed is now complete!
On my way there I even dissected a large tin drum with
my cutting tool. I pride myself on this achievement!
It took me only 10 minutes or so. The remaining belt
structure was also cut into halves.
What is seen below? It is just a mountain on my way home...
It was a beautiful day, indeed, with the clear blue sky
beaming on us...all the way home.
All this, I realise is far removed from the main theme
of my usual loggings. My apology for that. I hasten to
add, though, that mine is really meant for posterity...
From tommorrow on I will be back in force.
