    Default WIP ... another for my brother, his wife & daughter

    As many of you might know my baby brother passed away after a ling battle with cancer at 1am this morning.

    Now my chance for one last deed before he is burried. I looked after his twins for the bulk of the last 12 months but now Jade (the girl of the two) is living with her step-mother. They have a two story house and Jade felt isolated downstairs so an upstairs area is to be partitioned off so she can be near her mum



    The wall will go only to the junction of side wall and raked ceiling. Door on the far left

    That job will have two positive aspects. It will keep you occupied at this sad time and leave something useful for Tim's daughter.

    Finally after the round around chasing hardwares and building supplies that arent there anymore we got some timber.

    Now the work is finally in progress. Here is my fine assistant with saw in hand. It makes a good square.



    And it even cuts ... so does she
