Another day working at Heronshaw chasing Jewson’s for timber, Stalham Joinery for doors and windows and going to purchase electrical supplies for the electrician to start the following Monday.
Hosting Arthur Edmunds for driveway raising and liaising with the building inspector. Steven helped Dave erect four more of the posts and put in a couple more rows of noggins into the studding
Another day working at Heronshaw, and it was much warmer and brighter today as well. There were four of us working and so Steven helped Dave erect four more of the posts and put in a couple more rows of noggins into the studding whilst Alan Gidding went round tightening all of the bolts and painting the ends with Hammerite to protect them for the future. He had welded the last four of the metal ties last night and so they were also used to secure the tie beams into position. I had gone and got the square plated washers for them to complete the task and taken the same opportunity to buy Steven and I crab salad for lunch and fillet steak and sausages for Steve to barbecue for dinner.

I managed to cut down a lot more vegetation from our boundary whilst the scaffolding was up and then shredded most of it after sharpening the blades on the shredder so that it worked much better than of late. I chased Jewsons on the next timber batch, Stalham Joinery on the door frames and windows and then arranged for a "Home Energy Adviser" to come tomorrow to help me plan the Harnser heating. I also went and purchased the first electrical supplies for the start of the electrician's work on Monday. This done, I came back this evening and moved a great deal more dredgings to build up the rear of the garage. Arthur Edmunds came by this morning to measure up for building up the driveway and I also managed to speak to the building inspector who said that he had stopped by one evening and seen our timber but would be coming in the next few days as we would not be covering anything up. Not so much apparent progress today but the boat-shed still continues to grow.
