My second visit to Wickes, and still I wasn’t tempered by the breakfast bun from the food wagon. Instead my intent was two packs of weatherboard and a pack of battening.
With that loaded onboard the Shotgun I headed back home.
A frantic cutting and drilling ensued as all the remaining strips were stacked ready to install.
There was excitement as the last piece was fixed in place, the main objective of the trip had been achieved. There was just the finishing battens to be fixed to hide the joins and there it was done.
Now there is just the clearing up left to do.
I cannot start to celebrate, I will still have to force my work boots on for a little while longer.
I did treat myself to a fish and chips dinner.
I walked into the town to get my treat.
It is one shop that only accepts cards which is sad, I think they are being lazy, or is there more sinister plans ahead?
