The truck failed its MOT on worn rear brakes, boo! So that is booked in for repair next week.
Bradford on Avon was in chaos due to one of the main roads closed for resurfacing, there was traffic everywhere not sure where to go.
This made me late, and reduced my chances of getting a parking space.
I had the house to myself for a day, I had my job list and I had my chop saw.
I started on the wood frame to fill in the old fireplace. I spent a lot of time chipping stone that was in the way. I used a chisel that did not have a hand protector, and discovered the advantages of one that has. It baffles me why a large headed hammer still misses the top of the chisel, fortunately I had the soft part of my hand to absorb the shock.
It took me most of the day to build the frame, and it fitted really well until I remembered the a service box needed to go where I had place a batten. I couldn’t be bothered to rework it, so that was carried over to tomorrow.
They say that talking to yourself is a sign of madness, but I disagree, the madness manifests itself when you answer yourself, then argue. Therefore I am mad.
