Walls, Fletchers, and Games
The Wall Building will Continue until Morale Improves Yes, I have brutalised myself, but all in the name of progress. The wall has come together quite quickly. Is it perfect? Far from it, but it hasn’t fallen down yet and doesn’t look horrendous. It is a long overdue project as I hated the old pseudo-brick…

Split Slate and Fiction
A little bit of gaming, and a little bit of DIY. The dry stone walling workshop at Quince Honey Farm was fun, and though the stones were heavy, the detail was light. The most important messages I took away were to just give it a try. And backfill. Lots of backfill. In this context it’s…

Reading on a Deadline
Because what better way is there to relax than a threat of impending confiscation… The Library No, I’m not talking about your Steam Library. Or your PlayStation catalogue. We are discussing brick-and-mortar (and sometimes chassis in the case of vans) libraries. I have an on-again, off-again relationship with the library system. It was a convenient…

Shed Loads of Progress?
Shed-gate? Water-shed? It’s not really a scandal, but it is taking a while. Why not have a coffee while you wait? Since getting the bean-to-cup machine I’ve been giving latte art more of a go. The old coffee machine took quite an age to steam milk given its tiny boiler, but it’s a breeze with…

A Tight Shed-ule
One week to do a lot of groundwork, and still continue to attend my actual job… Once the trench was dug out and level(ish), I compacted the soil with the plate compactor before starting the single biggest job. Shovelling four tonnes of subbase was quite the back breaking affair. I had to change tack slightly…

Diggy Diggy Hole
I am a man and I’m digging a hole… Last we left off, I was finishing sealing up the Hellmouth uncovered beneath my shed. This must be distinctly understood, or nothing wonderful can come of the story I am going to relate. (It’s hard to tell if you’ve made progress digging a hole by showing pictures of similar holes,…
