Complete rebuild and lighting

[Senseidale]

I happened  across these this morning, I think they will look ok for a part of the windows panels.
Also maybe the roof lighting.   

[Senseidale]

Very hot day for building  need lots of cold drinks to keep you going, a trip to a local ( Ok not so local I was out on my house calls) builders merchants to get a quote on the timber to remake the corner post. I was very happy with said price, but over my lunch I telephoned a couple of other to see if I able to get a better price, on timber yard not very local had a a very good prices a saving of £20, even happier, but they do not deliver so on the phone again to a very local builders yard from the surgery and a massive saving of £60 and free delivery . upon my return home no timber a quick call to enquire of said timber, I was told the lorry was stuck in heavy traffic, (lorry fire on the M1 in my area)  I know this to  be true as i was stuck in said traffic but know the back streets so managed to skip round it.
along story I know timber will be here tomorrow, I have other parts of her to  be getting on with (the windows) but i was looking forward to starting the posts this evening.

sorry for going on a tad.

Hi all I don know if is the hot weather, my temperature and blood pressure went up, I came home after a hard day at work, to find my timber delivered, they have only sent the wrong measurements and warped, so on the phone to sort out the problem, only to be told that this is industry standard sizes, they did agree to take the timer back on Monday.
back to square one, what too do now, I then phone another timber supplier and was told to come and measure the timber for my self, NO CHANCE of that i told my self, I that contacted a saw mill out in the wilds of Nottinghamshire some place I never heard of, had a chat with a very helpful chap, gave him all my requirements yep we can do that, when would you like it for with fingers crossed "tomorrow"  "Yep No problem about 10 ish" address given, cash on delivery, and the even better news, saved more money.
Temperature down Blood pressure back to 120/80 normal.
now looking forward to getting on with the job.

[davidnagel]

D&V? Is that Duff beer and Vodka? A deadly combination!

Hope you feel better soon

[Angelus Lupus]

I'm guessing it's diarrhoea and vomiting, something that's been going around (long story short I've recently expelled all possible colours)

[galacticprobe]

Ugh! Been in that situation before! I hope you get well soon, my friend!

Hi all
spent a couple of hours cutting timber to 2.3 meters to make the posts couple are bowed but not a problem.

then offered up to see if all is looking good, then marked out to drill some pilot holes so not to split the timber.

Also today I have collected the St Johns sign, bless em the guys at the graphics shop they have given me 6 only ask for 2 and only cost a £5.00  less than a £1.00 each.

and more good news took delivery of a router table with built in motor and bench /table saw as my old one has done its job so it to retirement for it, Ok the skip.

The Bells of St John signs

Oh, wow, Dale! Are those St. John logos from the graphics I created and posted in the Table? If they are, they look better than I imagined they would! I can't wait to see it on your TARDIS door!

Hi all been active today, now done in , managed to get all the post made up screwed ,glued, just need to add the Quadrant Moulding  I used my new router table to make the Quadrants (how have I managed without a router table  they are great)  and  once the glue is dry I will add the them,  with the post in the glue drying stage I had a play with the router on some scrap wood, at making a small version of the steps under the sign box, the wood is cut ready to router out full size but I think I need a bigger router bit will have a look on line later,  the last time I just sandwiched the wood together it was ok but i think and feel this will be better and more solid looking.  The new saw table had its first outing today  thats all for now the kids are starting to play up and Missy wants help.
Regards to all Dale
