Cut above

Where the stud wall fits along the old oak beam, Brian has had to cut around some supports we’d had put in place when we first bought the house in 2015. It was not a straight easy line to follow.

He has done a pretty exacting job with the cut though, which he achieved by using his new invention, the ‘sharpie level drawing tool’. Genius!

On Monday he wanted to finish the project. Brian had sorted out the latch and clips to hold the access plate in place, and also found a door lock he could use for the door.

I can remember him buying the lock and it not fitting on the gate - that was a learning in what to look for when buying a door lock. He hasn’t done that again.
