So here we are on day 3 of the build. It’s not really the third day because I’ve really only been working half days for one reason or another. And today was made even worse because I had some business to deal with this morning and when I arrived back at the caravan I noticed that the ‘sanglier’ (wild boar) had paid me another visit during the night. So I had to restore the land yet again as best I could before I could do anything else.<\/p>\n

They keep digging up the same piece of ground and it’s now beginning to look a bit rough down there so I think that I’m maybe going to have to look at some way or other of deterring them from coming up from the little valley and onto my land. For a start I’ll have to try putting up some kind of barrier in the gap in the fence where they seem to be getting through but if that doesn’t work, I’ll have to think about some more extreme measures.<\/p>\n

Before I could get going today I was paid a visit by two gorgeous English Setters. They are used by the hunters and one had a collar on with a mobile number on it but I don’t think that there were any hunters out today. I assume that they were together, one was mainly white and black and the other was mainly black. They both poked their heads into my caravan wagging their tails like mad and were incredibly friendly. Before I knew it, the white one had jumped inside and onto my bed but both came out when I called them and the black one even sat when I told him to. What a lovely pair of dogs they were. Maybe I’ll go for a Setter when my house is built, or even a couple…<\/p>\n

But on to the tool store. Unfortunately I didn’t get as much done as I’d expected to today and I’ll explain why later. However, I did manage to get the basic structure completed and here are some shots that I took at the end of the afternoon, first as usual from the front corners.<\/p>\n

And now from the rear.<\/p>\n

Well what, you might ask, slowed me down today? It was actually just the rail that you can see running across the rear of the structure half way up the wall in the next picture.<\/p>\n

I had to do what is impossible for one person, namely to secure it in place by sticking some tiny bolts through from the outside, attaching a nut on the inside of each and then tightening them up from the outside while holding them on the inside. Here are a couple of shots that show what I’m talking about.<\/p>\n

I did manage to devise a method but it slowed me down quite a bit. And the problem is that I have two more longer bars that go down the sides to do the same with tomorrow. Oh well, not to worry. At least when I’ve got those in place I really should have the finishing line in sight, with a bit of a way to go but with nothing that should be too challenging for me working single-handed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
