Day 2253 The reclad has begun

14th October 2023

I needed more timber from Wickes, I had resolved how the new bits had to work, so extra material was needed.

I stopped off at Sainsburys for provisions.

Then it was back to the cottage to start work.

I set my workmate up on the path with the mitre saw on top.

Progress was slow mainly because I only had a step ladder that I had to lean against the wall.

It was a bit precarious, but needs must.

I worked until 6.00pm but with my legs feeling the strain, I was still alive, I hadn’t stepped back to admire my work, and woke up in casualty.
