Day 1904 Jolly hockey sticks

30th October 2023

We both drove down to Elaine’s to test fit the hockey sticks that I had cut from her pattern. Both required a lot of fettling to get them to fit properly. It became evident that the pattern wasn’t accurate meaning I would have to remake one of them.

The real problem was finding tools that I could use, the barn was full, but being able to find them was impossible.

The project of converting the RV was started by Elaine and her husband, but tragically he died a couple of years ago leaving the project unfinished.

She is soldiering on trying to sort everything out, and getting the RV complete would be a good start.

This was the job that I didn’t want to do, and it’s ironic that I’m being dragged into it.

The person Elaine originally employed had let her down, she needed it finished because she planned to drive it down to Florida to hopefully sell it.
