Click-clack

It’s that simple! Well it may be when you know what you are doing, but to start with it’s like being on ‘the Krypton Factor’. I used to love that programme, watching people trying to fathom out how to build something. So easy when you know how. But in this case I think even having the instructions was an interference.

We started off by laying the insulation. This seemed easy enough, it even specified that glue or tape were not necessary, which seems like a positive, however whilst you are trying to line it up and keep it flat it was inclined to slip and slide out of place. Once we laid the first board though it all started to hold better. Brian then brought the second board over to ‘click-clack ‘ into place. All I will say is that at this point there was not much click-clacking!

After some contemplation, Brian returned to the task and approached it slightly differently. This time with more gentle persuasion, which seemed to do the trick.

I left him to it, as I’m not sure I was helping, and I went to do some gardening. A couple of hours later when I returned I was very pleasantly surprised to see it was really coming together. It seemed the first row was the most challenging.
