And Then There Was A Porch

I do like a picture of me and my power tools.

I finally laid the lino flooring that I found in a skip. It looks better than the picture seems to imply. It’s a dark faux-wood flooring style, it’s quite classy, though it was sticky and a bit smelly til I washed it several times. The down side of pulling things out of skips.

I’d cut all the pieces to size so it went up pretty quickly, and luckily it felt pretty sturdy with the bits of triangulation I put in the plan.

Not being bothered to bring the wood-holding jaws of death up to the top of the plot, I had to use the top of the wall (with the 3 metre drop on my left) as a sawhorse.

I had just enough leftover shiplap from the gables of the cabin to do about 2/3 of the windward side of the porch, and I’m going to cut a piece of glass for the top bit. Since I have a lot of excess glass.

As a finishing touch, Anna raked the rest of the ground, spread grass seed and mulched it. I hope we’ll see green shoots by the end of my parents’ stay.
