Another busy week. Some wall rebuilding, a "simple job" which turned out to be not quite so simple after all (we all know the type), some cracking gifts, candlesticks and of course...an orchid or two to bring a bit of colour to proceedings. Read on for more:
Andrew Hall has been out making some Christmas Tree ornaments from a stockpile of Leylandii offcuts destined for the log burner, some LED's were added to complete the festive look...very nice. The wall which had the close encounter with the reversing van has been repaired and just needs a lick of paint to finish it off for Christmas...very nice!! We were also introduced to Andrew's new walking companion...Sunny...splendid!!
Burnsy went to tackle one of those simple jobs, you know the ones !! Just take the radiator off so the plasterer can do the wall, easy right....lockshield off, TRV off....oh hang on that TRV is leaking at the gland...easy just tighten it up or re-pack it...oh it's got a solid plastic core and isn't serviceable....new valve then...drain the entire system...refill it and don't forget the inhibitor. Simple jobs, don't you just love them.
Graham Brooks has been polishing off some more seasonal gifts. It's some nutcrackers this time, threaded spindle and nice solid body... a cracking present ...see what I did there !!
Margaret Garrard missed the deadline for the Christmas Challenge but sent in a few photos of a seasonal nature anyway. Very nice as always !!
Patrick Lindsay sent in a some photos of a couple of candlesticks made recently from some large diameter pieces of privet harvested from a neighbours garden, seems to be very like Holly in appearance. Still wet when turned so we will wait to see what happens next !! We also got someimages of the current blooms in the greenhouse to bring a bit of much needed colour into the proceedings !!
