Healthy start

We thought we’d be a little bit healthier kick-starting our day today. Brian went for a couple of boiled eggs, and I opted for a bacon sandwich. I know, not really healthy for me, but the butcher had some very tasty looking smoked bacon, which I couldn’t resist.

I’ve been oiling all the new wood pieces that Brian had prepared, and they finally felt dry enough for him to start putting up. First the end board on the header.

Then it was time to stick the facias on the uprights. There are three uprights in all, that are formed by the four separate bookshelves when they were joined. The bits of wood already prepared will finish off the front of two of the joined uprights.

The challenge though is that we only have two poles to support them whilst drying, and he needs to use both per upright, so with three to do in total it’s going to take a few days.
