Day 230 4WD forever

19th March Monday

The drive up to Bradford on Avon was challenging, just getting out of Barrington required the four wheel drive capability of the Shogun. Once on the main road the going was better. I had to be at the garage by ten for the work to be done to the front and rear brakes.

The walk from the garage to the house took twenty wind blustering minutes, but Andy was already well into the pipework. I farted about for a while waiting for him to finish in the old fireplace, so I could refit the frame and finish it off.

As the last of the large drill bits emerged into the bathroom space, and the copper tube appeared, the job was done. A quick brush up and the space was mine.

With a bit of careful manipulation the frame lodged in position, and I was able to fix the securing blocks to keep it vertical.

Finally it was finished , I stood back to admire the simple elegance of the structure that will soon be covered in plasterboard.

By the end of the day the snow had practically gone, and the walk back to the garage was much more pleasant.
