With various interruptions and other things needing tending to I am finally making some progress.

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...6b38deeecc.jpg

This should have been no more than a couple hours work if I had my own tools or at least a good basic lot of tools and under normal conditions but it will get there

That is I think the problem we all find when we are on the road or visiting someone. You miss your own tools and very often what they have is barely adequate for the job. What you lack in tools here you are making up with your skills and doing it for love.
Progress is being made and soon you will have it finished.

Jade will be one happy camper when it is done.

Good therapy for all. Well done.

Well wall is up and now to sheet. No joy with the lining boards being made in time so just MDF and perhaps an upgrade on a future trip. You will note a slight curve in the floor

I decided to trim to the floor and join on the noggings. They tell me there was a time all timber was cut by hand and that it did not even come in sheet form. Did you know they didnt even have molded plastic handles in the old days

So you should be. Many would be pleased with that fit if they had the full kit of tools at their disposal. :2tsup:

Goes to prove that a true craftsman noes not need all the bells and whistles to do a good job

I should do an update here.

Obviously nothing done today but ad of yesterday I got the major part of the wall finished.

Trim the length of the top sheet first and damn the photo's wont load. I'll have to cone back to this. I filled my memory card at rhe funeral todayand it seems I can't access rhe last two days pics and videos

Pics are working again now. There was the other side of the door qay still to do

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...edf42e9f05.jpg

That wall is not straight

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...031db5459f.jpg

Bit of a challenge cutting such a cròoked line with a handsaw

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...4ce380ae93.jpg

But got it done and time to clean up

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...9a976a171e.jpg

Everyone is helping, Raechell and the kids

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...3bfa17dddd.jpg

And now ... it's all pulled apart as a new chapter starts for my SIL (do I still call her that)

The wall is down again. Another memory that will live on here where I may cone for a visit

http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...25a0de8ce9.jpg

The place is getting cleaned up to rent out. All signs of that wall removed.

http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...a14dc97f64.jpg

There was another wall, a wall I never saw but i know it was there. The paint tells a story

http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...0d2eb18465.jpg

Once upon a time the top of the stair case was closed in. Perhaps an attempt at climate control. This was the only room upstairs before my SIL did the extention.

My job to sand the walls and ceiling ready to paint. Hoefully todo so to conceal all signs of past work. It is only a wuick job so cant put so much onto it but the obvious tells will be gone.

There was thick ridges of paint across the ceiling following the ild wall. The 'V' joinys had been filled upto the wall on either side so have cleaned them out

http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...df0c54cb6b.jpg

Once filled and oainted again it should all look good.

Might try and dand that out a bit toohttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...3011e26eed.jpg
