Day 225 A dark hole of filth?

14th March 2018

I put right the mistake to the frame that I made yesterday. It took me a while because of the bloody complicated way I made it. I agreed with myself that at the time it was the best way to construct the frame. To make the changes I had to dismantle part of the structure.

I was calm, and took a methodical approach.

Firstly I swept the floor, noticing the length of the bristles were much shorter now from when it was new. I must have swept nearly a thousand times, and every day I can always find more to collect. Next, I cleaned the makeshift bench, uncovering unopened post covered in tools and rubble. The letters, including one from TV licensing advising me of a impending visit, good luck to them. The other was a padded envelope containing a CD from my old tenant. I thought he had disappeared into a dark hole of filth, but no, he had thought to send me a copy as I had helped to produce it. That arrived at the end of January, so I felt bad that I hadn’t acknowledged it. So I rushed off an email apologising for the lateness of my reply, which eased my conscience.

Once my workspace was clean, I was able to start the revision to my framework, only to find my Mikita’s battery was flat.

Eventually the change was complete, and I re-fitted the frame back in position, a job well done.

Andy the plumber turned up to work on the piping. We agree that the bathroom ceiling should come down so that we could check the condition on the joists, and do a proper repair.

I keep telling myself that it will be okay in the end.
