What a great day for a drive to Zeeland for another Doctors appointment.
The highlight was looking around Goodwill for any furniture that we can flip, but there was nothing, so we had to contend with doing more work to the fence.
There was one final panel to fit, and the one that gave us the most trouble. I’m sure the professionals would have done the hardest one first, but not me, hard job Pete at your service.
What made it difficult was the design of the house had a buttressed feature that the panel had to fit under.
I took careful measurements, marked it out on the panel and cut the panel to shape. I had also dug a deep trench for the thing to fit in.
What followed was a comical scene of complete mayhem as we both tried to fit this panel into the remaining space.
After a couple of hours of lifting it in and out we made the decision to remove the piece that fitted under the buttress which made it much easier.
The hard bit was I had dug the trench a bit deep which meant it had to be lifted up to match the other panels, we did it using the old method of leverage, but the effort was enormous, I’m sure we will feel it in the morning.
Another Lifetime to go
