Chauxing off

The day started with Brian getting the chaux mixed up and Chris tucking himself away under the tarpaulin and starting to point the wall. The sun was shining, but it was bitterly cold, and we knew the forecast today was very changeable.

I think Chris had learnt a lot from the wall he had helped chaux last year, so he started with great enthusiasm, and progress was good throughout the day.

Brian kept the chaux mixed up for Chris, and spent a little more time just cleaning up some of the gaps he’d maybe missed on his first pass with the hammer drill.

Sara and I were on wood protection. The wood for the shed was untreated, so we needed to get a coat of exterior treatment on it, before our other friends Philip and Jillian arrived to help put it up.

All this happened in between the showers of hail! But we all helped keep each other’s spirits high.
