2009-08-05 Laying the floor boards.




The first day laying the floor, was a team day.....three men on a plank jokes not allowed !

This was the moment when we realised just how warped the planks had become, lots just didn't line up, and some were cut so badly they would not have lined up straight from the pack, let alone after 2 weeks in the baking sun.
so after a day of ferocious hammering, swearing, and general discontent, this is how much we achieved......(and no thats not Kermit)
over the next week, Dave, and a few helpers got this far, and on the 7th day.............

He had a little break...........


and on the 8th Day....it was done all bar the sanding, hole filling, vacuuming, wiping, varnishing, re-varnishing.
some boards were so uneven !
adds to the character, is a good one to stand by.
heres R2D2 ready for action.
and the drawbridge to keep out the pesky visitors..............oh no too late!!
