Mission accomplished

In between guests and other little jobs Brian has continued to work on his work shop. Today he finished getting the outer boards up, and I just love the eclectic look he has created with the wood he has found and used.

He needed to remove a steel post which he had originally thought could stay, but it needed to go, so out came the grinder and off came the steel post.

We then needed to nip out and buy some sheets of chip board to panel out the inside of the wall, as he will use this to store all his tools. It was a well planned mission, as I like to get to Weldom (DIY store) just before it closes for lunch at noon, as the car park is then often empty so I don’t have many obstacles to avoid with the trailer. Mission accomplished, the panels fitted in the trailer diagonally…just!

The next job was to fit them, and attach a worktop he had also bought to create additional workspace. At one end, he is using an old set of drawers we removed from the kitchen. These are great to lay out more tools, and store boxes of screws and nails, all the stuff that just gets buried normally at the bottom of a box.

He also fitted a trough at the back of the worktop, to throw screws and bits into if he is working on something. Helps him not to lose or mislay things.
