First cut

All prepped and ready to start

Brian has been working hard over the weekend on the stairs, measuring, remeasuring and measuring again, and only then will he make the cut. He did a few practice cuts with his new saw, but firstly he laid out all his PPE (personal protective equipment) and then he was ready to get started proper.

He soon had cut the first couple of legs for the corner platform, and was moving on to the cross beams, ensuring everything was level along the way.

He ended the day having completed the framework for the mid-way platform, feeling quite exhausted but pleased with where he’d got to.

Today we woke to a beautiful blue sky and glorious sunshine, so Brian decided he wanted to give the slope one last cut before winter. The mower started first time and he was soon making good progress. So straight after lunch he was able to get back to the stairs.
